Goodmrnings mense. If you are intrested in attending the benifit concert for the Men and Women of Hope this Saturday, then please inbox me. It's happening at Pollsmoor Prison, 14:00pm - 16:00pm R40 per ticket.... yes, it's a return ticket. This is a good cause. Many men and women (ex-offenders) changed around their lives of crime and turned out to be a benifit to their communities and society in general. So come show some love as the funds raised will go towards their anual camping trip.

Someone I met just a few days ago passed away... Am I weird for feeling so sad?...
