I visited "Time for change" in Johannesburg, South Africa for Scott Fifer and Ewan McGregor because Ewan said I would be protected by the women.  He was right.  I was rescued by Barbara Hill - director of the program.  The children need your help! They sing! Here is a little video I created to share the incredible experience. Please donate by contacting the GoCampaign organization https://gocampaign.org/ -- link to my video on You Tube here --> https://youtu.be/e3g6Eft8CkA

​My heart still grieves when I view the video reflecting on what I saw on those streets and the stories she shared with me of bad things happening to the children outside that gate. Very dangerous neighborhood for the children. I was determined to visit them, no matter the cost. I was a bit concerned but not scared, then, when I saw Barbara running to find me, my heart melted. She is my hero.
