Personal message
Home of Hope is a registered non-profit organisation that cares for abandoned, abused and neglected children with FASD which is permanent brain damage as a result of prenatal exposure to alcohol. Home of Hope started their very own school in 2010 called Amathemba School for children who were unable to cope within a mainstream school environment.
Amathemba has undeniably one of the most talented future artists that you have ever seen. He is 18 years old and started doing art when he was only 4 years old, his first drawing was of a bicycle and as he grew older his love for art grew. At the age of 8 he realised painting and drawing was his passion and then pursued it.
What turned out to only be something he did for fun, turned into his dream. This campaign is to raise money for Shelton’s education and help him reach his dream.
Every single donation made towards his education will help pave the way for a brighter future and create better opportunities for him.
All the funds raised will go directly towards his future education.
Please consider covering the platform fee, so more of your donations goes to our project.
