Thanks Prof. for this word of encouragement.

Excerpt from correspondence with Prof. Tim Noakes (South Africa's Sports Science Expert)

"The prosperity of any nation is determined by the care it gives its children.  All children have a need for regular (daily) physical activity.  It improves their health but most importantly their self esteem and feelings of self worth.

Children in the most deprived communities require the uplifting value of physical activity more than any others.

The work of Bottomup is another exceptional example of exactly what our nation's most vulnerable children need if they are to become productive citizens of our South African nation."

With warm regards

Yours sincerely

Prof Tim Noakes
