A. Schools/NPO’s
School education is the foundation of the future leaders of our country. Like any business schools/npo’s need funds to run properly. The three sources of school funding is:
Ø State subsidies – only about 33%-NPO’s get none
Ø School fees – public schools do not have to charge fees and no learner may be turned away if they cannot pay .Parents who cannot afford fees must apply for exemption. The problem is that most schools are struggling to in school fees. Thus…
Ø Fund raising is the only solution for this problem and we assist with this.
B. Multiple sclerosis ( MS )
Is a progressive, degenerative disorder of the central nervous system, including the brain, the optic nerve, and spinal cord. The disease affects various parts of the nervous system by destroying the myelin sheaths that cover the nerves and leaving scar tissue called plaques, ultimately resulting in destruction of the nerves. This process is known as sclerosis.
Symptoms vary, experience episodes of dizziness; emotional changes; blurred or double vision; a feeling of tingling and/or numbness, especially in the hands and feet; loss of balance and/or coordination; muscular stiffness; nausea and vomiting; slurred speech; tremors; weakness and/or fatigue; difficulty breathing. As the disease progresses, a person with MS may have trouble walking and develop a staggering gait. In the advanced stages, movement may become more spastic, and paralysis and breathing difficulty may occur. Bowel and bladder problems, especially chronic urinary incontinence or urgency.The disease follows a pattern of periodic flare-ups. It progresses slowly, disappearing for periods of time but returning intermittently, often in progressively more severe attacks.The cause of MS is not known and there is no known cure for the disease. However, a implant that will reduce the above symptoms. Can be done, thus enhancing the quality of life of MS sufferers. The cost of the operation will be in the region of R100 000.
