"What can I say except that you are an inspiration to me ..
'I am so proud to have had the opportunity to get to know the people from Eco-access. You are a winning team! As district official I have the pleasure of seeing just how enormous the difference is that your team makes in our schools.
Yesterday I spent the day at Izibeleni LSEN School with George and Scott. We had so much fun planting trees, singing, dancing and just being with those special little ones. I am humbled by your team’s efforts!
May God bless you with good health to continue doing what you obviously have been called for. I am sure I can speak on behalf of every child whose life has been touched by you all.

I had a wonderful day on Saturday interacting with the deaf kids at Pretoria Botanical Gardens. Thank you for organising it and for spurring me on again to try and make a difference.
I would also like to write to 'my two girls' - Bernelee and Antoinette - and thank them for being so patient with me.
You are all doing a terrific job and it was a really worthwhile experience
- thank you!

You guys are doing a wonderful job and it was so heart-warming to see these little faces light up and the interaction between them all.

Dear Custan, Rob, Julie and others at eco-Access
This is just a brief note to say thanks a ton for making use of our camp over the weekend. More importantly thanks so much for affording me the opportunity to work with the students from the two schools and to get to know about the wonderful work that you are doing.
I think all of us who are involved in enviro ed. occasionally find ourselves feeling frustrated and wondering if we are really making a difference. However, I have to say that after this weekend's camp I feel what you are doing is totally admirable, and has provided much-needed inspiration to me and all of our staff.
