Ride 4 A Child

NOORDWESTER – LICHTENBURG – Tyd vir ‘n geselsie met Dr. André Hattingh. Ek leer ken die man agter die dokter.

Hy was amper oral in die wêreld, en het in elke plek ‘n positiewe spoor gelos. Suid-Afrika is bevoorreg om hom hier te hê waar hy baanbreker werk doen.

Weereens het mense hulle maand se yskaste leeg gemaak vir niks anders as die vullistrok. Brood en melk geld het gegaan vir brandstof, vir die mense wat wel ‘n krag opwekker kon bekostig. Hoeveel mense moes met suurstof sukkel, en die lys kan aangaan …
