The Extra Mile
At 85 years old, Oom Hollie embodies the spirit of Ubuntu, "I am who I am
because of who we are." Known as The Iron Man because of the strength and
resilience of his body, mind and spirit, he and his family suffered great loss
many years ago. With the support of their community they were able to move
forward and thrive. He is in love with the land and with growing food, not for
profit but to share it with others. He lives gratefully each day motivated by an
awareness that "one man's happiness is another's and one man's loss is
another's."
