Jonathan has been sponsored by a drama festival to visit the USA at the beginning of October to tour the country with The Crossing. While he’s there he wants to take the opportunity to sell his play (the book version) and the wire-and-bead figurines he sells on Camps Bay beach for a living. However, he doesn’t have money for materials as this has gone to visas etc, which will only be reimbursed upon arrival.
Jonathan needs R1500 for the materials, which he will pay back upon his return at the end of October. If anyone would like to donate/loan of any part of that amount, even if just R100, please email kiraschlesinger@gmail.com for Jonathan’s bank details.
