Warning: strtotime() [function.strtotime]: It is not safe to rely on the system's timezone settings. You are *required* to use the date.timezone setting or the date_default_timezone_set() function. In case you used any of those methods and you are still getting this warning, you most likely misspelled the timezone identifier.

SOCIAL INVESTMENT - DOMINO

I often feel overwhelmed by the burden of the world's problems; extreme poverty, corruption, famine, slavery and pollution. I soon realise that as one person I cannot save the world! The least I can do is help one person and encourage them to help another. We have seen that by helping one person, who helps another and so on we can affect a community, that affects a town, a province, a nation and the world - the DOMINO Effect.

Social investment is definitely not just about money it is more about time, passion and effort. Where does your passion lie? SOMAMA is passionate about the EDUCATION of underprivileged South Africans. We are currently investing our passion into Sparks Estate Secondary School Durban, through a non-profit organization(NPO). It is only one school but we hope that in some way our time and money helps improve the livelihood of their community.

We have been able to help teach Computers, Maths and English. We have even found that some of the pupils are holding extra lessons for others younger than them.

Sobering thought - Helping people less fortunate than myself has made me realize that the problems in my life really aren't so big! So my challenge to you is - which one person can you help? You will often find that the greatest benefit is often from the way it helps you.

If you wish to get involved in any way please give us a shout -  Thanks Grant
