Churchills International Express
Churchills International Express is a South African Based Courier company with its head office based in Durban, has been inspired by The Little Traveller story and their own experience of losing someone to AIDS. They decided to make a positive contribution by sponsoring Little Travellers free passage to Canada, our largest distributor. Their assistance with courier fees has allowed the extra money to be used to assist our 10 bed respite centre. Due to the fact that the little travellers were being couriered by the 1000's the concept of The Little Traveller passport came into being. Each Little Traveller now carries the Churchills "passport stamp". [ www.churchillsinternational.com ]

Fashion and the Little Traveller - Karen Monk Klijnstra
Karen Monk Klijnstra, a local fashion designer, has worked closely with the Hillcrest AIDS Center Trust over the past three years. Her recent fashion range was inspired by the Little Travellers and their story. She worked her magic to create garments which Steve Mandy, again a local Durban artist, hand-painted little Traveller characters on which were based on the Little Traveller "Lifestyle". Woza Moya created the accessories to match each outfit. The Little Travellers took to the catwalk at Durban Fashion Week and were sported as buttons, army style medals and the show-stopper Traveller skirt was a documentation of their travels around the world. " I firmly believe that if you are able to benefit others through your craft, through association, and if you can put their causes on the map, you should……..I believe that the Hillcrest AIDS Centre Trust to be a cause to which I will forever be drawn"

I heard about the Woza Moya beading project when I was in Durban and I immediately felt drawn to the Hillcrest AIDS Centre story so I visited the Centre to see it for myself. Nothing prepared me and my wife Amira for the touching encounter that afternoon and the inspiration we received from the talented creative spirit and works of art we found at Woza Moya. As Paula Thomson told me about her vision to share their story with the world it dawned on me that coming from the Photo Industry, I was there for a reason and could help contribute towards her photographic exhibition. Donating the cameras and making the prints is a small contribution from us at Tudor Photographic and we hope that we can continue to support Hillcrest AIDS Centre Trust in the fulfillment of their very worthy goals and ambitions.

Little Travellers in Canada
Little Travellers first came to Canada with Ilan when he returned home in 2005 after volunteering for 5 months at the Hillcrest AIDS Centre Trust. He brought about a dozen little dolls back in his luggage as gifts, but their sweet personalities won the hearts of many before he could give them to his friends. Ilan, along with fellow student Kristine, formed a group of concerned Canadians and "Little Travellers - Canada" was born. Ilan and Kristine have spent the last two summers volunteering at the Hillcrest AIDS Centre Trust. This past summer they had the privilege of interviewing 30 of the beaders. It was such an emotional experience to be able to hear from their own mouths how beading Little Travellers has enriched and changed their lives. We both have been so blessed by the Little Travellers, and by being able to spend time with the beaders, many of whom you see in the photos. Each Little Traveller is beautifully made and represents a special part of the person who lovingly made it. Who would ever have guessed something so small could make such a big impact? Thank you for your support; the world is changing one bead at a time.
With love,
Ilan & Kristine
