Working with the Young Zulu Warriors

My family and I spent three life changing weeks in Kwazulu Natal last October working with the folks at Gods golden acre at Cato ridge near Pietermariztburg.There is an orphanage(100 kids) and outreach project(5000 kids!),and the work they do is incredible.Now for the best bit for all you travellers out there.It cost us about £5(UK)/day,inc food and accommodation.If you really want to make a difference,then I assure you that you will never look at life the same again.It is a real chance to experience the best of South African hospitality.Find out more at godsgoldenacre.org Give them a bit of warning you are coming,but be warned,mucking in is obligatory and if you dont mind getting beaten up by a bunch of bare footed Zulu girls at football,then you'll be fine.Enjoy.

Just thought I'd let you know that godsgoldenacre.org doesn't work. It just brings up a "placeholder". Maybe their site isn't up yet?
