In early March, a little boy lost his tooth on the playground of his school. He asked his headmaster for help in finding the tooth so he could give it to the Tooth Fairy. Fast forward two weeks and she decided to visit Nkanyi on The Joyride.

While playing with his schoolmates, Nkanyi accidently bumped into another learner, losing one of his teeth. He searched everywhere for his tooth but unfortunately couldn't find it. But Nkanyi did not give up at all!

He quickly asked for help from his headmaster as he was worried that he would have no tooth to give the Tooth Fairy.  In an emergency situation, Mr Roland Rudd, the headmaster of Saint Andrew's School Bloemfontein, intervened and sent out a letter the day of the tooth tragedy! 


The whole school helped in searching for Nkanyi's tooth and a few hours later, Mr Roland Rudd called Nkanyi into his office, to inform him that his tooth had been found and had been given to the Tooth Fairy. She also left a little envelope for the brave little Nkanyi.

Because she couldn't meet with Nkanyi on that day ,and she really wanted to meet him, the Tooth Fairy asked if The Joyride could help her meet him and so, we did!


A big thank you to Mr Rudd and all the Saints boys for helping Nkanyi find his tooth as well as to the Tooth Fairy for taking time out of her busy schedule to come and meet Nkanyi. Fiat Lux!
