Just crazy kinda guy, with a small house, a great family. Insomniac, Dyslexic (Can’t spell), Talk tooo much, Learning the meaning of life, being called a geek by my my staff, making a meaningfull difference to  Autism in South Africa.

I am Executive Director of Autism Western Cape focussing on service delivery for IWA (Individuals with Autism)

I cared enough about children, adults and their families affected by ASD (Autism Spectrum Disorder) to sacrifice 74 days of 2008 in a project called Jail4Bail. The primary objective to create meaningful awareness and secondary to raise much needed funds for Autism Western Cape.

My life motto is simple ” Imagine what I would do, if I could do, all I can” – Princ

    Hi Gerhard,

    We met at CTICC at the Utango Workshop, we spoke briefly about my company that focuses on finding jobs for the matriculants and graduates that are living with disabilities. I know you are away and wish you all the best as you climb Mount Kilimanjaro-God bless and keep you safe under His wings.

    Please contact me when you come back and we can set a meeting date.

    Regards,

    Vuyi
