Slide 2
"Take a chair to New York... ARE YOU CRAZY?!" That was the
response that we got when the UKZN Foundation announced its plans
for an event at the SA Consulate-General in New York City. But this
was no ordinary chair, this was the Chair of Dreams for
Africa...

Crafted by 160 women from the Valley of 1000 Hills and in
partnership with the Hillcrest Aids Centre, it has been sat in by
the likes of Archbishop Emeritus Desmond Tutu Writer Gcina Mhlope
Cartoonist Zapiro Singer Johnny Clegg Comedian Leon Schuster DJ
Fresh and many others...
Slide 4
The invitation was for our alumni and donors in New York City
to also have the chance to sit in the chair and dream a little...
This presentation serves as a Memento of the chair travelling in
New York itself and of those who had the opportunity to sit in the
chair at the event. We hope you enjoy the show! * All photos of the
