A child is matched with an adult mentor, someone who is both a positive role model and a friend. We match the specific strengths, interests and abilities of a volunteer to the identified needs of the child. The child is known as the Little and the adult mentor, the Big. All over the world there are vulnerable children who may not be able to reach their full potential. These are children and youth who lack inspiration, guidance and experience to move beyond their daily survival and experience positive youth development. By volunteering a minimum of one hour of your time each week for at least one year as a mentor, you could profoundly change the course of a child's life. The Big Brothers Big Sisters mentoring initiative represents an attempt to restore vision and inspiration to youth who are in desperate need of guidance and support. By simply giving children the opportunity to feel valued, by listening to them, it is possible to open up a world decidedly brighter than before.

With the help of God and his sponsors, Werner will be the first person to attempt one of the most adventurous and dangerous expeditions. To raise awareness and money for HIV and AIDS, he will paddle solo in a sea kayak from London to Durban - over 16 000 km! Not only is he the first to attempt such a daring feat, but this will also be the longest kayak journey in history. We urge everyone to be a part of this ground-breaking journey. His dream is to raise R 2 000 000 to open an AIDS shelter named "the Nineveh Project" in South Africa. His expedition will take him from the United Kingdom to France, West Spain, Portugal, South Spain, Morocco, Algeria, Tunisia, Libya, Egypt, Sudan, Eritrea, Djibouti, Ethiopia, Kenya, Tanzania, and Mozambique, to arrive in Durban - South Africa.
