Why the Cape of Good Hope?
Cape of Good Hope
The Cape of Good Hope, which is the southernmost tip of the African Continent was so named for a very good reason. It signified new direction in a long journey for ancient mariners in their route around the huge continent. The Cape of Good Hope meant a significant new turning point for the weary travelers of old.
~To get around South Africa a ship had to travel south and mostly sailed against the prevailing winds from the south. Once the ship reached The Cape of Good Hope and the ship turned north, the wind would then favor smooth sailing.
~The bay was significant as a place of rest for weary travelers and the best place to anchor a ship carrying precious cargo.

~~~Imagine sailing the African coastline for many, many days buffeted by winds and wave after wave. You’re seeking that turning point in your voyage and you see the Cape of Good Hope in the distance, your feelings would be celebratory and your energy would be renewed!!, hope realized!
We are all on our life’s journey and that journey has many waves to ‘ride-out’. Our true family and friends weather the storms with us and also celebrate our milestone moments with us. They cheer us onward to and thru that Cape of Good Hope moment in our lives. They help when help is needed and they are able to do so. That encourages us to carry on and see our journey thru.
Such is the story of Little Pearly’s Hope and all of my interrelated work for this vision and mission to bring positive inspirational, educational and collaborational

Mission
It is Martin Fry’s vision to help those in need, be it proceeds from a project or from inspirational words that can change someone’s life (even if it is just for a brief moment). Equally as important is Martin’s belief in community, both in building and strengthening them. Martin has already begun to build a community consisting of local businesses and individuals to support him in his mission (see the Contribute page at LittlePearlysHope.com). With their help and from the sales of his books Martin plans to donate books to people who can relate and be inspired from the messages of his stories. He has also created a growing network of local organizations that will help distribute his books to those in need.
