While I greedily gobbled a plate of frosted cookies, the coordinator for Early Childhood Development explained their programs. I met a couple of other contributors, one of whom served on the board for SAEP. We gathered at the offices of SAEP, within walking distance from the UCT Faculty of Health Sciences. I swallowed my nervousness about the neighborhood and signed up for the visit. For the week of Nelson Mandela’s birthday, SAEP invited its “ Angel” contributors to join them in a drive over to the “New Born Educare Centre” in the Philippi Township. I decided on the South African Education and Environment Project because I believe programs that target early childhood development make a disproportionate impact on the future. Furthermore, we have the responsibility to do so! I was inspired by the Five Plus Project to identify an organization to which I would send five percent of my income each month. Each of us, though, has some power to reshape our world for the better. No single person will solve all the problems of South Africa in one magnificent act.
