The Adonis Musati project - Gayle Mc Walter

We closed off the show with an interview with Gayle Mc Walter a volunteer coordinator at the Adonis Musati Project. This organisation was named after a young Zimbabwean who died of starvation on the streets of Cape Town while waiting to get his asylum papers. This organisation formed at the end of 2007 in order to ensure that no refugee died of starvation ever again in Cape Town. All Adonis Musati Project committee members are volunteers with other full time jobs and commitments. All storage facilities, places of distribution, telephone and computer facilities, and transport costs have been provided by the volunteers themselves at no cost to the organisation. Even a large amount of the funding has come from the volunteers themselves. Some large and small donations from caring individuals and groups have been of enormous assistance and have gone directly to the refugees themselves. If anyone wants to contribute to this organisation you can contact Gayle or the Adonis Musati Project at 021 712 2713 or 082 902 8781 or visit their website at www.adonismusatiproject.org
