Congratulations Vinny, you and your team deserve the honor. It must be very exciting for you considering all the (good) stuff that happened just in a period of only a few years.

My sister has been in South Africa for a few weeks to do some volunteer work organized by a German labor union just a few years ago and loved the attitude and spirit of the people over there.

Coming from a country that was also turned upside down (East Germany) I know how it affects people and how their attitude changes when everything around you changes and things believed to be impossible and unthinkable become suddenly reality. It opens the mind and spirit and seems to make the word "impossible" sound like an artifact of an bygone era.

I hope you will be able to continue with what you are doing and that people, not just in South Africa, will look at you as a role model for taking things into their own hands to improve not only their own lifes but the life of everybody in their community as well.

Keep it up.
Cheers,
Carsten
