Max Oliver, 14year old from Orem, Utah, came to South Africa
to finish his Eagle Scout project. His
grandparents Elder and Sister Poelman are serving a mission here and when the
family decided to come for a visit, an Eagle project to help the people of
South Africa was born. Max has really
made a difference for an orphanage here in the township of Umlazi U section of
South Africa. The work began in Utah,
collecting money, making colorful pillowcases, and purchasing stuffed
animals. While in South Africa they were
able to purchase school uniforms, shoes and school supplies, backpacks, propane
stove and food for the Sphakamelo Orphanage.
You can tell by the happy faces in the pictures that they were very
grateful for the donations. Max and his brother Zak (12yrs) danced with the children in Zulu costumes.
