Meet Luyanda

accreditation
We caught up with some of the kids who come to Afrika Tikkun center and who are benefiting when you donate R2 to Add Hope.

What’s your name?

Luyanda Mbuyisa


How old are you?

20 years old

How long have you been coming to Afrika Tikkun

Since I was 13 years old.

In which grade are you?

I'm finishing off my Matric.

Why do you like coming here?

I like coming here because it's a safe place for me to study. I live in Hillbrow and it's not such a safe area so it's nice to come to a place that I can study and get help with my homework.

What is your favourite thing to do at school?

Maths! I love numbers and how they just make sense.

What is your favourite food?

Rice and mince.

When I grow up, I want to…

A paramedic. KPMG brought paramedics in to train us and that's where I learned about them.

If you could change one thing in the world, what would that be?

I would change the way people think. I find it hard to understand how people can easily gamble away money and then find it difficult to donate even a R2 to feed a hungry child. So I would change the way people thought about the world.

Who is your favourite person in the world?

Paramedics! Because they save lives!

Please consider Adding Hope when you purchase your KFC meal to help children across South Africa. You can also donate online on the Add Hope website.
