As we have been approaching different organisations both civil and corporate we have realized that we need to be properly protected and registered under South African laws.In so doing we will be able to fundraise and even receive international funds for our project.With that we are going to announce the new board of directors as soon as we are finished with registration.
RE: Trail of Hope Project – A Journey of Hope
Trail of Hope Foundation (“T.H.F”) is a non-profit organization based in Pretoria, South Africa that empowers orphaned and vulnerable children to develop critical consciousness within their context of living. It was founded by Tendai Sean Joe, former street child, now an international advocate for disadvantaged children and youths.
The “Trail” is a trail of human inspiration created to bring attention to the struggles of orphaned and vulnerable children in Africa and suggest sustainable solutions to help transform these children into future leaders of tomorrow.
Currently, T.H.F. is embarking on a three month motorbike journey throughout 16 countries in Africa and Europe collectively. The Trail of Hope journey will begin in Cape Town, South Africa and end in London, United Kingdom. The goal is to produce a documentary that highlights the struggles faced by many orphaned children and use this documentary as a tool for creating global awareness.
Our target is to raise ZAR500,000.00 (USD66,000.00). This will include the projected costs of motorbikes, living expenses for riders and cost of ride (excluding filming budget). For further clarification, budget is available upon request.
We invite Potential Sponsor to join us as a sponsor for this documentary. By being a sponsor, you will be creating a branding opportunity for your company/ organization while supporting a great cause.
We are offering various levels of sponsorships. Please see sponsorship form enclosed. Also, enclosed is the Trail of Hope Foundation business plan. For further information, please contact our New York Ambassador, Melissa Tswana-Daniels at (914) 813-1632.
Sincerely,

Friday 15 May Press Release Put together by Toni Stuart
PRESS RELEASE – Friday May 15
TRAIL OF HOPE – Former street child and photographer raise awareness of the plight of Africa’s children
In August this year, Tendai Sean Joe and Albert Arcona, will set off on a Trail of Hope: a three-month motorbike journey through Africa and Europe to raise awareness of the plight of children At the same time they hope to raise R10 million for the MyLife project.
Their journey will start in Cape Town, and progress through South Africa, Zimbabwe, Malawi, Tanzania, Kenya, Sudan, Libya, Tunisia, Algeria, Morocco, Spain, France and Germany before ending in England. The road trip will end with two fundraising concerts in Berlin and London.
In each country, they will seek out and speak to children living on the street, documenting these stories on their blog,in video as well as in pictures.They seek to raise awareness around the issues the children in different countries face. While travelling, the two will sleep on the streets,churches and in children’s homes.
“Millions of children live and work on the streets, without food, education, adequate shelter, or a loving family or protection from traffickers, peadophiles, criminals and abusers. These children are caught in a desperate struggle which sees them surviving the realities of poverty, addiction, gangsterism, crime, institutionalisation, life without and disease. These are our future generations that we have conveniently put on the periphery of society and labelled ‘street’ child,” says Tendai, a Zimbabwean-born former street child.
Through the Trail of Hope, Tendai and Albert aim to raise R10 million for the MyLife Project. MyLife is a South African organisation working to rehabilitate people living on the street and integrate them back into society. It is run by people who have come from these harsh realities and turned their lives around. The money will be used to build an Ubuntu Eco Village.
Ambassadors of the MYLIFE project are international actors Billy Zane and James Purefoy, Hakeem Kazeem of Pirates of the Caribbean fame ,Just Jinjer’s lead vocalist Art Matthews, Top Billing presenter Jeannie D
In order to make their journey happen, the pair are looking for sponsorship in the form of product endorsement, financial contributions or donations of equipment.
“We require a film production company or TV station to cover our ride. We would like to partner with the corporate world, public figures and all those who support this cause. The ultimate goal is to make as much noise as possible and create awareness to the plight of the street children across Africa.”
