Neurofibromatosis (NF) is a genetic disorder of the nervous system which causes tumors to form on the nerves anywhere in the body at any time. This progressive disorder affects all races, all ethnic groups and both sexes equally. NF is one of the most common genetic disorders in the United States (one in every 3,000 to 4,000 births).

Off The Street Kids (OTSK) is a newly registered UK charity. The organization seeks to respond to the needs of young people who are forced to leave care in South Africa at the age of 18 when state funding ceases. Many of these young people return to the streets because they have neither the skills to support themselves nor a home to return to. OTSK is working on a pilot a program that will provide support for these young people in order to prevent them returning to the streets, and enable them to provide for themselves in the long term.
