Phelophepa Health Train

For most people, a train going through the neighbourhood is a nuisance. For millions of South Africans, it's salvation.
On Friday, September 20th, 2002 a fundraising Gala Dinner in aid
of the Phelophepa Health Train was held at the Sheraton Centre Hotel in Toronto. Over half a million rand was raised for this valuable project.

Archbishop Desmond Tutu was the keynote speaker,
he and his wife, Mrs Leah Tutu shared their story of hope
and their account of this very unique project in South Africa.

Mrs. Tutu serves on the board of the American Friends of Transnet Phelophepa and graciously agreed to come to Toronto to promote the good work the train does in South Africa. 
 
This gala event was presented under the auspices of The Canadian Friends of the Phelophepa Health Care Train, and under the distinguished patronage of the South African High Commissioner to Canada, His Excellency André Jaquet. Mr. Trevor Wilson, President of T.W.I. Inc., served as the Dinner Chairman and Mrs. Mary-Anne Chambers, Senior Vice President, Electronic Banking, Scotiabank, graciously agreed to serve as the Deputy Chair.

The event was produced by Adriaans & Associates AND T.W.I. INC. in conjunction with Literature for Life, a community-based organization dedicated to promoting literacy and education for young unwed mothers.
