Visiting HOKISA after the Comrades Marathon

HOKISA, located on the Cape Peninsula, South Africa, is a small NGO that provides residential, family-type care for children affected or infected by HIV/AIDS and it's aim is to empower members of poor communities where HIV/AIDS is most devastating. HOKISA provides a safe, healthy environment for children entrusted to it's care as well as community outreach and support. This cause is espescially meaningful to me as I spent the first 32 years of my life in South Africa. My wish is to give back by helping those who are in a more disadvantaged position.
I achieved my first fundraising goal for HOKISA in May 2009 during my Comrades Marathon experience. It was incredible to be a part of the generosity and encouragement of all the donors and also to meet the children at HOKISA after the race.
In giving one receives so much - my cup is overflowing!
