‘It was undeniably life changing’
Natasha Menon of Standard Bank writes, “Rally to Read has most definitely been an experience I will cherish all my life. Not only was I humbled by the experience, but I felt privileged to be chosen to attend, as it was undeniably life changing…
“Sometimes you need to be taken out of your comfort zone before you really take notice of the world around you. We tend to blunt our senses as we navigate everyday routes, limiting our interaction with those less fortunate souls to occasional eye contact.
“The Rally to Read gives you the opportunity to explore beyond the urban edge and experience what a life of simplicity is all about.”
‘People here are already reserving their place for next year’
