Hi there Dee,

Thanks as always for contacting us personally about the requests from your readers. We are always pleased to hear from them. Just to let your readers know, we did indeed sponsor 18 pairs of school shoes on behalf of councillor Robinson who turned out to be an absolute gem.

I will get in touch with Paul concerning the children in Ventersdorp, personally, and keep you up to date as usual.

Many thanks again,

Claire Alexander

Hi there,
I am writing to you to ask you for assistance. We (the Lions Weltevreden) are doing a “Christmas in Winter) project. We urgently need shoes and someone told me to write to you. Please answer my e-mail and tell me what to do to try and help the 170 school kids (Rabana school Ventersdorp).

Kind regards,
Petro

Hi Bob !
I support your campaign and think that this is a wonderful way of saying that you and others are caring . I’m a Councillor for the City of Cape Town who read a article in the Retreat edition of the People’s Post about 13 Primary School kids who’s in need of school shoe’s as they were sponsored only with school cloths . Is there any way you can perhaps assist these kids . If you can assist please make contact with me on Cell 0824455370 ( Cllr Aubrey Robinson )

Great effort from Bob, where does this go from here> ?

The potential for someone with such influence and profile could be limitless. (The comment about his rugby mates is just the beginning. I watch this one with interest.

This is not the first time that someone did this. A few years ago, a guy locked himself up in a cage in Canal Walk. It was a good idea then, this is just copying him. I think that guy was raising money for autism research.

I’m glad that Bob is making an effort though and he could have encouraged his other friends in rugby to join him.

Hey guys,

YOu are all new readers, welcome and big up for the comments!

@JP, I think that Sandy is right. I had asked the same question to Bob while I was in the cage with him and that was his answer. I’ll get him to come in and explain it to you better though. My money is on the Stormers this year Who are you betting on?

@Sandy, Thanks for supporting BobsForGood and believing in the campaign. I am sure that Bob appreciates it!

@WesZA – Awesome to have you on my blog dude. I’ll ask Bob to answer your questions. I must admit that I was pretty amazed at Bob’s patience too. The guy was always smiling, taking photos with the kids and being charming all around. It must have been particularly tough because it was open air and all day long!

Keep the questions coming guys!

I agree with Sandy, I think shoes are important and there are lots of other charity organisations around that deal with other causes. Bob can’t save the world, but a small difference to small segment of the world is a big help.

I’d like to know from Bob, how did you manage to stay smiling all the time? I read on 2Oceansvibe about the cleaners and the weirdos.
How many times did you have to tell yourself that klapping this oke won’t help?
What was the weirdest, best and worst experiences of the entire campaign?

I think that you are doing a great job! Good luck bro!

Shoes are about self respect. Bob’s got a good point! Food is important but if you are barefoot and everybody else has shoes it’s hard to pick yourself up and improve!!
Well done Bob!

Bob, why school shoes? Why not medicine or food?

Who do you think will play in the SUPER 14 final and who are you betting on to win?
