<p class="">When Covid-19 started and the gym was closed, I wanted to do something to help the community and keep the youngsters positive. I emptied my Jojo tank at home, and we started off a handwashing station in the middle of the township. Very few people have running water in their homes, so this has been a great help. We now have 8 wash tanks throughout the township. I have also been very involved in water and food relief efforts.</p>
