I live in Stellenbosch and I see homeless and hungry people every single day. Begging for food and small change... every single day. And not one a day.. more like one every second street corner!
In my mind South Africa would at least count as one of the 'moderately high' countries on the world hunger map... but it's not, it's one of the 'low' countries!!!! Not 'moderately low' but according to this map:…

ACT1
It has been requested of us to find an inspiring person and then 'follow' them (not the stalkish kind of follow the online kind of follow =P)

How it works - The children of the poor communities are encouraged to pick up recyclables and bring it to…

The food actually tasted fresher than in the past and was easy to keep fueled.Dad was very proud of the solar hybrid…See More

Future
FutureToday is 2020/1/1. It is just like yesterday. The war is still continuing. It has started since 2010. In 2010, that year was a horrible year. Almost every energy ran out.

Food was bought up xawayx at once. There were no more food supplies in any shops. The economy was all crushed down. All the…See More
public servants
The exchange works directly for state and public workers and servants. It gives them credit in exchange for the amount of public work they contribute to the community. The more constructive they are based off a base rate the more credit they recieve.
