In memory of Baden Philander

The MylifE Foundation was devastated by the tragic news of Baden’s death on the 15th January 2012. Baden completed his internship with us whilst he was at the Raymond Ackerman Academy last year. We are blessed to have had Baden with us on our recent Journey to the Eastern Cape – where he kept us all inspired and laughing with his abundant energy and zest for life. Baden was passionate about Youth and Community Development and a true leader and role model to others..

Never Give Up – our final post for 2011..

It has been a very challenging year for all of us at The MylifE Foundation, one that has manifested many struggles and many rewards. We are so grateful to the many people that have supported our vision and daily interventions for the children and youth in our Society that need our love and care.

We are excited to share that our Pilot Village goes up in 2012, in the Eastern Cape – we would love you to be a part of our journey and encourage you to get involved!!!!
