I was very moved by the website Charlie showed me. I love how this cause will change lives now and for future generations.

I was not actively involved in any other charities at the time and so I leapt at the opportunity to join the Sole Of Africa team!!

In the past my involvement has been with The Nelson Mandela Children's fund poster campaign and print ads for AIDS awareness (Red Ribbon). I also performed at a Students for Students benefit in New York to support Health education and HIV prevention for the Children of South Africa when I moved to the USA last year. Students for Students is a non profit organisation where the worlds leading Business Schools come together to improve lives through education.

Through my media profile in South Africa, I also worked with SPCA on a regular basis, Reach for a Dream, Child Welfare and I washed a lot of Penguins a few years back when there was a large oil spill in Port Elizabeth, South Africa (if that counts) LOL.

So I have put my foot down....have you?
