..and in the blink of an eye it’s all over.

An emotional last day of school at Wynberg Boys School. What a privilege for Rico to have attended such an amazing institution.

A memorable day, with a great send off from the school and then the obligatory shenanigans after.

On to the next chapter

Off he goes - 12 day hike into the mountains, carrying all his own clothes and food, and no contact with the outside world. Hopefully he’ll draw down on some of the amazing hiking experiences we’ve had over the years, from #machupicchu, #mtkinabalu and #quilatoaloop .

A great experience for all these boys away from home comforts and electronic distractions.

A very rare sighting of the female teen ...away from its natural habitat of the confines of darkened closed door bedroom.

Here we see it out of its comfort zone in fresh air and nature. A sight to behold .

We finally managed to pull of this event, a month

We finally managed to pull of this event, a month late, but it was worth the wait and was a huge success. Football uniting girls from different sides of the track, and proving what a powerful levelling ability it has.

We were able to donate footballs, toiletries, clothes, books and sanitary products to the @ikasisoccerschool girls on behalf of reddamhouseconstantia and @meadowridge_afc .

A beautiful and impactful talk on mental health and self care by @Nosiphiwo09, was well received by all the girls and proved that whatever their circumstances, these teen girls are all faced with similar hurdles.

Thanks also to @lindy_cohen for the amazing @continent_africa T-Shirts.

Friendships formed on and off the field and this will be the first of many similar events to come.
