Abalimi Bezekhaya (Cape Town, SOUTH AFRICA) – This is an organization working with development and environmental restoration in Cape Flats. Cape Flats is an impoverished area outside Cape Town which was partitioned as a “Black” residential area under the apartheid regime. Due to poor management, overcrowding, and the unjust policies of the apartheid era, Cape Flats became environmentally devastated. Abalimi Bezekhaya is working to “re-green” the area by promoting gardening and tree planting efforts.

Save the Children –  JAMBO sponsors two children (one from the Philippines and one from Malawi in Central Africa) through this wonderful organization.  The proceeds will go towards financial support of these children.
