During Mr. Leader's consulting work in South Africa, he was asked to teach a bread baking class by Gail Johnson the founder of Nkosi's Haven in Johannesburg, a clinic named after Nkosi Johnson, a 12-year-old who became internationally known as a spokesperson for South African children infected by the HIV virus. It was this experience that produced the idea for the South African Whole Grain Bread Project (SAWGBP)
