FANCS - Our currency
of thanks.
In South Africa, we have our own way of saying things. Sometimes our accents turn the "TH" in "thanks" into an "F" sounding like "Fanks". We've turned that little bit of South African culture into our very own currency: FANCS! When you give, you don't just make a donation. You give hope, make a difference and earn a whole lot of FANCS! Around here, when someone does good, we say FANCSA' lot!
