John Paul DeJoria sponsors Maria

John Paul DeJoria (JP) CEO of John Paul Mitchell Systems and patron of The Sole of Africa, has led the way by donating funds to Maria to give her new prosthetic legs. JP traveled to Mozambique earlier this year with the Sole of Africa team to see first hand the plight of people affected by landmines. It was during this trip that Christo Schutte of Mineseeker SA introduced him to Maria.

JP was so taken by Maria's positive attitude and her resolution to running her own hair salon, that he personally committed to helping Maria with getting prosthetic legs on behalf of Paul Mitchell Systems.




In a moving moment on the beach, Maria presented JP with a wireframe model of a landmine victim.


Maria is currently in Pretoria, South Africa where she is at the Arwyp Medical Centre receiving treatment.




This was all made possible through the funding and support of JP de Joria, Paul Mitchell Systems, Dr Linda Steyn(Physiotherapist), Trevor Brauckmann of Brauckmann Inc, AMA (PTY) Ltd and the Rotary Club of Pretoria East..

what this man is doing is more than just helping, he is setting an example for the world! If people took the time to lend a hand every now and then we wouldn't have to have the wars like we are in Iraq. The truth hurts and thats the truth. A question, who was the 10 year old boy he was standing next to in Paul Mitchells Vogue? Please answer!
