Personal Mission:

I empower others by teaching them to take personal responsibility for themselves. This is achieved by practicing unconditional love and acceptance.

Action in the World:

David founded an addiction rehabilitation centre, SHARP (Selfhelp Addiction Recovery Programme) in Johannesburg five years ago and is part-time Centre Director. He is a recovered drug addict and his passion is extending the gift of recovery to others, daily.

To date 500 men and women and their families, from all South Africa’s diverse cultures, have been impacted to help themselves lead new and meaningful lives. Several men in recovery are now counsellors in SHARP and initiated men in MKP.
