After many years of being exposed to children-at-risk in South Africa and seeing the adverse effects of HIV/Aids, poverty and substance abuse on children in South Africa, Charmaine and Kent decided, by the leading of the Lord, to start The Almond Tree in their home.
All you need to do is bring a gift selected off the wish list, nappies or wet wipes for entry.
You will then be able to choose from the following:
• Powerbox
• High-low
• Zumba
• Hip-hop step
• Sizzle and sweat ladies boxing
• Les Mills sprint or yoga
“You will do great and feel good too,” said Ryan Manthe, owner of the gym.
