Reach For A Dream gives young Springbok supporter unforgettable experience
Story 1
The Reach For A Dream Foundation has helped make another child's dream come true by giving 14 year old Daniel from Bryanston a once in a lifetime experience with the Springboks at Ellis Park.
The foundation, which grants dreams to children living with life threatening illnesses, surprised Daniel by making him a match day mascot during South Africa's Test against England. He walked onto the field alongside Springbok captain Siya Kolisi before the national anthem.
Daniel later met the full Springbok squad, celebrated the team's victory over England and described the experience as a dream come true.

Young boy inspires South African autism advocate
Story 3
A meeting between a young autistic boy from Soweto and autism advocate Dr Emile Gouws has become a powerful reminder of the impact of representation and perseverance.
The boy chose Gouws as the subject of a public speaking competition after being inspired by his journey from a child who struggled to communicate to an internationally recognised researcher and disability rights advocate.
After meeting the youngster, Gouws said the experience reminded him why he continues to advocate for greater inclusion and acceptance, adding that inspiring one child meant more to him than any award or international recognition.
