How You Can Help - Make a contribution to The African Touch

THE AFRICAN TOUCH Invites YOU to make a positive difference in the world by helping transform the lives of disadvantaged women, youth, and disabled persons in Africa.

There are three ways you can volunteer and contribute to the success of the Massage Academy Project:

However, we do require the use of materials during the implementation phase while Yvonne is in Victoria, B.C. These include a digital video camera and projector, and graphics software.
  • Time and Expertise. If you are an R.M.T. or other health professional, click here.

The African Touch welcomes your ideas, suggestions, practical assistance, time, and energy.
