This is my third cycle tour, and I am so proud to be doing this again in aid of Home of Hope. I believe in the excellent work Home of Hope does, as they are changing lives daily!

This year, I have the privilege of raising much-needed funds for Amathemba Special Needs School, a Home of Hope project.

They believe every child with special needs should have the right to education. Amathemba was founded to meet and address the educational needs of children with Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder who, because of the nature of their cognitive, behavioural and emotional needs, are not able to be met within the traditional school system. It is one of the few schools in South Africa that provides for the unique requirements of children with FASD and similar neurological disabilities. 

At Amathemba, their qualified teachers, therapists, and support staff teach 36 Learners from a core curriculum, which comprises many learning programs that have been carefully chosen and adapted to their children's unique requirements. 

They follow an individual learning approach to assist children in learning at their own pace and offer skills development programs and therapeutic support. They offer additional support to learners from impoverished communities by providing food and clothing while being educated.

Will you support me as I ride and raise funds for the school, making a huge impact in the community and achieving remarkable progress in educating uneducable children?
