Good morning,

                           I am writing this to you on behalf on myself, and my husband John Ackermann who is an OD.  We saw the piece in the O.D. magazine about your Guguletu Athelitic Club, and were most impressed with what you are doing.   We  have been in the USA for 40 years, and returned to S.A. for many years until my husbands mother died at 100 in Cape Town.   We have 5 grandchildren here in the US., ALL of whom are very involved in sports.  The girls in track, & soccer, and Jake in baseball, basketball, and football, also he is a good little golfer.  Unlike the children that you are involved with, they have all the advantages that a good education etc can give them………..therefore we would like to make a donation to your club to help with shoes, jerserys, and anything else that you feel is necessary.

 

                      I was not able to find on your web-site anywhere that I might be able to send a monetary donation ??   If you would be kind enough to send me the information re your club bank account and routing #, I could then make a direct deposit into it.   I know that this must seem odd, but you can check us out through Brian de Kock, as he and John were in the same class together, and he is aware of us being in the US. 

 

                      We both wish  you the best of luck in your endeavour, and hope to hear back from you.

                           Sincerely,

 

                             John & Liz Ackermann
