The Coconut’s research that got her the school recognition … … started in March 2020 and it may have verified your <<People with high VVV are rarely in gaol. They are very rarely or never involved in murdering somebody. They don't do BLM = burn, loot, murder. They eat well, and live well. That is true whatever their race>> as correct. She essentially took the opportunity presented by our unplanned sojourn in Cape Town Message 33254001 working with an unusual individual of great merit, and ran with it, following up by interviewing folks, looking up numbers, and selected anecdotes from her interviews and synthesized insights, wrote a research paper, presented findings to a bunch of professionals, and made her case, describing well known problems of drug use, dealing, other criminalities, and broken homes, teenage pregnancy, etc etc, and suggested a seriously effective and inexpensive solution that was a bit out of the box. Reminds my of my trip to the Galápagos Islands and seeing the assorted finches, realizing that Darwin was not necessarily brilliant, but certainly observant of the obvious, and naturally thought about observations of the obvious. As a complementary effort, helped to feed 500+ township families during the hard-lockdown period 26 March - 1 July with funds raised in Asia and a bit from Europe. Made a difference. Also used raised funding to buy cellular data time that enabled kids to do zoom class during the school closure time. After returning to HK Coconut organized a bunch of kids in HK and coordinated a funding drive that aggregated US$ 190K from individuals to support the continuing work of the S African NGOs doing more of what needs doing. She is now considering whether / how corporate funding might be engaged with, from where she is based. What companies accessible from HK might have business interest in South Africa in general and Cape Town in particular, is the question. casisvancouver.ca
