Natural or man-made disasters, poverty and other challenges are a fact
of life for many people in various parts of the world today. South
Africans in general are very fortunate to be living in a country that
is not only peaceful but is also developed in diverse fields. However,
whilst enjoying the blessings of this prosperity, South Africans need
to also reach out and help others who may not be so fortunate, whether
they be within or outside of South Africa's borders.
