south africa

in the summer of 2008, i was given the extreme pleasure to travel alongside These Numbers Have Faces to South Africa, to document their work with the JL Zwane soccer club. These Numbers’ vision is that young people around the world will have access to a quality education and learn the skills needed to reduce poverty in their own communities. i thought that during the world cup, it was a fitting time to re-post some of these photos, and bring awareness to my friends non-profit that is striving to do good things by partnering with a group, not just giving a handout. i sincerely ask you to take a few minutes to check out their site, and see if you can get involved! (its as easy as donating $5 a month! to help change a families life, and help sponsor a kid to go to college!!!!!) the few weeks i spent there affected me forever. maybe your time is close at hand. thanks for your time. enjoy the world cup. and enjoy the photos!

shibobo!!!!!
