Today Britain's own Prince Harry pledged to continue his valiant efforts in helping and aiding some of Africa's most vulnerable children. According to The British Press Association, it was reported that the young and handsome royal made the comment as he began working on a project which is supported by his charity, Sentebale, based in Lesotho.
Prince Harry’s organisation is helping to refurbish a special-needs school, the only one of its type in the African country. The school caters and cares for 43 children with profound physical and mental disabilities. Prince Harry is a lieutenant in the Household Cavalry's Blues and Royals. He was joined by more than twenty colleagues from the regiment in bringing the Thuso Centre in the northern town of Butha Buthe up to date.
Prince Harry, speaking in the grounds of the special-needs school, said: "Everything here is just so positive and fantastic. This is the only mentally handicapped school within Lesotho, and once the project is finished we hope to make another in the centre and one in the south."
In the morning, Prince Harry joined other soldiers from the Household Cavalry to build a disabled ramp for the school's youngsters. The prince, who was dressed in a T-Shirt, chinos and sturdy walking shoes, waited patiently in line with his wheelbarrow behind a local workman to fill it with cement. He then pushed his heavy load with a red face and with sweat glistening on his brow to where the foundation trench for the ramp had been dug. He then carefully poured the cement before returning to collect more.
Later he took the waiting media on a brief tour of the school's two buildings. During this tour, he took the opportunity to outline the work to be done over the next three weeks, which will save the contractor 360 labour days.
