- Stanley ran away from home when he was a little boy. He lived on the streets. He took drugs and ended up in jail. That was two years ago. Today he has a job as a painter. Stanley feels hopeful about the future. Kathleen was 13 when she left home to live on the streets. Today she is doing a cooking course and has moved in with her aunt in Mitchell's Plain. This issue of Upbeat is full of stories of ordinary people who have done extraordinary things. You will meet people like Kathleen and Stanley who are determined to make something of their lives. There's Gary Donnelly who is the youngest player ever to play for the NSL. He says that there is no magic in being a sportsman. It's just practice! Meet Jac Fourie from Pretoria. He was chosen to attend the International Space Camp in Alabama, USA. What an experience! If you live in Phiri in Soweto you have probably heard of Soso's Hair Salon. It is run by the amazing Sonki Nkwane. Five of his hairdressers, are friends who are still at school. All these young people have one thing in common. They are on the move! They want to challenge and change things. They want to learn and search for new opportunities, that will make a difference to their lives. Happy reading!
