So this is the planned map for the eco village (click to enlarge) that we will be working on in Riviersonderend.The main objective of the eco village is to create a new and vibrant, sustainable economy in Riviersonderend. An economy focused on tourism and related services- one which has growth potential, not only for Riviersonderend, but also for the region and Province. The land will be used for income generating activities, in order to create income and employment for the Riviersonderend community, as well as to house the youth and staff of the MylifE Organisation. The fact that this village is sustainable on it's own and indeed will genereate funds is impressive, but the MylifE charity do need funds to get the project started and this is where you guys come into play, we need you guys to help by donating whatever you can, be it money or doing what we are doing and volunteering to go out and help construct this village.
I'm not sure if you guys know that South Africa has the highest number of Aids Orphans in the world. It is estimated that there will be between 9 and 12 million orphans in South Africa by 2010. It's pretty much this alone that kicked us into action, that and a hugely touching speach by the founder of the charity Linzi Thomas at the charity launch in london. By the way any queries and just post us a comment, or if you wish to make a personal donation contact myself @ lewismathews@hotmail.com. Or one of the other guys if you have their email.
