THE NORTH POLE PROJECT
VISION
To raise awareness of HIV Aids in South Africa and the plight and strength of the children the virus affects, and to raise money for Children of the Dawn.
WHY?
To make a difference to at least one person’s life whilst fulfilling our own dreams.
Children of the Dawn was set up to support and strengthen existing or budding community initiatives which focus on caring for HIV/AIDS orphans. Based on a sponsorship programme, Children of the Dawn’s goal is to give back a future to these affected children.
