Day 12- Project day around Ladysmith
The Rotary Club of Ladysmith, working together with KwaZulu Natal's East Coast Radio and the Gift of the Givers, has been distributing literally tons of food throughout the rural areas hardest hit by HIV/AIDS.
Visiting Mhlumayo, the hike team helped to distribute food parcels, including nutritional supplements for people infected by HIV/AIDS in 3 communities. The programme is also dependent on local women volunteers who take the food parcels to the sick and needy grandmothers caring for AIDS orphans and vulnerable children. The local tribal chief is also quite involved, giving buildings for children feeding schemes and for office space for the local coordination of volunteers.

After a powerful day in the rural mountains we returned back to Ladysmith to give the Rotary Club a presentation on the hike thus far. Thank you Ladysmith Rotary!
