This story touched me deeply. Sister's dedic🎉ation and that of others, is remarkable and heart warming, in South Africa among the many unemployed youth, alCohol and drugs are a major problem. Thank you for sharing.
I love the various background scenery

I am one of the drunks who turned up in AA after burning my life to the ground. Sober today because God removed the obsession. I never thought I'd be one of those people who would ever get the "God thing", but I did. I did.
