Pilot to help build hospices

British pilot and philanthropist Robert Vallier is flying a Cessna 182 to 30 disadvantaged South African communities in 30 days, to establish help centres for vulnerable women and children, and hospices for people with HIV/AIDS. He is also donating computers and textbooks to schools. Robert started the Unity Flight for South Africa Foundation (Ufosa) after leaving a career in the music industry. He obtained his commercial pilot's licence five years ago. He visited South Africa in the early 1990s. His latest visit is to gather information which he will take to Ufosa‘s board of trustees. He will use donations from the UK, the US and South Africa to either buy or lease land on which to build the centres and hospices.
