In Africa, a very common phenomenon is a child that lost his parents after they died from Aids. Brit-Olam, together with a journalist and photographer, Jonathan Nir, is trying to help Mama Mdunge that collected to her home some of these Aids orphans. Jonathan came back from South Africa and wanted to leave something good behind him, this article was published in the "Shivaa Yamim" of Yediot-Ahronot newspaper 1.2.2008.
"I remember when I asked how she would want her life film to be called, she answered me: "the pretty face of Africa"...with a pray and a song, they refined hope from their desperation like experienced alchemists. And suddenly I understand that for this moment I came here from the start, and for this moment I am writing, so I will never forget how the voice of hope echoed in the desperation valley. How it trembled the roof made from tin. How despite everything, these children found God to pray to, in the loneliness, hunger and freeze".
For donations to help Mama Mdunge, by sending volunteers and sending: clothes, toys, exc.

When people ask me why I wanted to join the student delegation to Tanzania, I never understand the question. I mean, it’s a group of students, going away to one of the most beautiful countries in the world, to participate in humanitarian activities, But since they ask, I tell them that I was drawn to our delegation because to me, it was an opportunity to go off the beaten track in Africa...
