Giving to those in need

Moving the Mountain is also about giving back and Simon and Wynand have pledged to give a portion of the proceeds to three charities close to their hearts:  Wandisa, a specialist child protection and adoption agency based in Sea Point, U_Turn who equip people with skills to overcome homelessness, and TEARS Animal Rescue.
