I’m absolutely honored to be given the opportunity to return to South Africa this November. Last year I seen first hand what this charity does and the impact it has on the communities and families and I cant wait to be part of this again.

Driven by a deep belief in equal opportunity and the power of education, Mellon Educate’s mission is to build and refurbish schools in some of the most disadvantaged areas of South Africa. This isn’t just about bricks and mortar—it’s about creating safe, inspiring environments where children can learn, grow, and dream big.

As part of the Mellon Building Blitz, I’ll be contributing not only by fundraising but also by volunteering on the ground—helping to construct classrooms, support local communities, and witness firsthand the impact your donations can make.

Every contribution brings us closer to a future where every child has the chance to thrive. Thank you for standing with me and with Mellon Educate to make that future possible.
