CREATED BY DERRYN CAMPBELL
Derryn Campbell offers us this wonderfully eclectic and informative insight into all that is South African. Leaving behind a successful corporate career in management, Derryn followed a vision to encourage South Africans to positively influence the future of their country.
In 2007, Derryn, together with Di Smith, co-founded Awesome SA, a non-profit movement that not only interacts with South Africans to create awareness about their country, but also facilitates initiatives to deliver positive outcomes. Thanks to the passion and commitment of Derryn and her colleagues, Awesome SA has brightened the hearts and outlook of thousands of people around the world.
