For the Kids of Paarl

Award winning film maker S. Kramer Herzog's "Kids of Paarl" conveys a harshly authentic view of children themselves who are caught up in the middle of situations they did not create, ask for or control.. These youngsters are simply and sadly victims of economic stress and political injustice. To bring some joy to the kids, money was raised in San Francisco, California, equipment was shipped overseas and a playground was built in Paarl, South Africa,

Additionally shipped were 340,000 meals -- enough to feed 340 children for a full year.
