Your Everyday Hero: Tjaart T.

My dear friend Tjaart is my hero. We were away the one weekend. We were outside when we heard a noise from the back of us in the bushes, and when we looked again we were surrounded by these men with sticks in their hands. I believe we would have been dead had it not been for Tjaart, who smooth-talked the men into leaving us alone, telling them that we would give them our belongings. I thank Tjaart every day for his bravery, I owe him my life!!
