HELPING the Community during April - June 2012:

Prisilla – Clothes.13 Year old girl – Clothes.Lindiwe and Princie – We gave them a soft toy each to cuddle as they suddenly lost their mother in a taxi accident.Happy Hlahatsi – We gave him soccer balls for his soccer team to practice.

We gave 8 black bags full of old school clothes to the staff at Lake Brenton in Knysna. They were so happy and thankful!!!We donated these clothes in April as winter just started. They all had warm jackets on the next day. Our timing was perfect as they were of enjoying the warmth of the tracksuit jackets and rain jackets.

We donated chairs, men’s-, ladies-, children’s clothes, shoes, educational toys, toys, baby things, trampoline, basketball net, bicycle, unmarked old school clothes, books, bedsocks, fissan paste, a bed throw and educational games to Smartie Town. Aunt Elsie, our Halli Representative in Smartie Town, handed it out to needy families. We have decided to help the families one by one. We want to establish the needs of family first.

Aunt Elsie also made a playroom in her garage. We have put all the toys in boxes. The kids can come and play there. She can then also educate the kids to treat the toys with respect. They also learn to share and pack everything away afterwards.

Maulise Kotze and her friends are going to Zimbabwe during the June school holidays. They will be visiting the people in Tsholotsho in Zimbabwe. We gave 13 black bags of old school clothes and 8 large boxes of New Supporters rain jackets form Beaumont Primary School. They will hand out these clothes to the people. We pray they have a safe trip and may they also receive unexpected blessings as they will be handing out unexpected blessings!!!

We helped Juanita Philips in Macassar with porridge for the kids in her care. She is a community volunteer and a safety parent. We also donated women’s-, baby- and men’s clothes, handbags, belts, fissan paste, scatter cushion, room d�cor and toiletries for a teenage girl.

Aletta Brand and Marius from Malmesburg – We helped them with clothes, toys, baby things, groceries, toiletries and cleaning material. They have a 10 year old boy and a baby boy born with spina bifida. They struggle to keep up with the demands of having a special needs baby.We want to thank Shirley Carstens from the Strand who’s reaching out to Aletta and want to make life a little easier for her.

We helped Deborah from Lwandle with groceries. Deborah is currently working as a domestic worker twice a week and is in need of other domestic work as well, but in the meantime she is caring for her 4 grandchildren. Dzobe 10 years old, Zlntle 12 years old, Nothini 5 years old and the little one it 18 months. She was so thankful for the groceries. I even got a kiss on my cheek fromthe boy!!! His heart was beating from excitement!!!

Home affairs assisted us in Smartie Town by sending their truck on Monday 18th of June 2012. The residents could apply for new and 2nd time ID documents, birth registrations and re-registrations of birth certificates. They helped a lot of residents and they were very patient as some of the applications were complicated. Many residents made use of this opportunity and we believe this will contribute to better living conditions as we want them to apply for various government grant. This was a job well done!!! Thank you Home affairs for your assistance!!!

Vergezicht kids from grade 4 – 7 made sandwiches on Thursday 21st of June 2012. The

sandwiches were then given to Halli Trust to handout in Smartie Town. We handed out sandwiches to 14 families. The timing was perfect as it was a very wet and rainy afternoon on the 21st when we handed out the sandwiches. Everyone was so grateful!!! Jeniel Naude handed out the sandwiches as a representative of Vergezicht.

We want to thank all the Vergezicht Private School kids, parents and educators for making and donating all the sandwiches!!! YOU ARE FANTASTIC AND SUPER COOL KIDS!!!

Ben Juma, a Zimbawian man, currently helping me in my garden. He is a qualified teacher and has a diploma in Hotel Management and Tourism. His family sent him to SA to find a job to be able to take care of them. He cannot find a job. He is an insulin dependant diabetic and struggles to control his diabetes due to his erratic diet. He now comes in everyday to pick-up leaves etc. in my garden for a plate of food. He has to walk very far to do this, but is willing to put in this effort in order to maintain his health.

We had one of the first Halli Fab Ladies Tea’s at my house on Saturday 26th of May 2012.

The aim for the tea is to give information about Halli Trust and to show people how to get involved if they feel like it.We had lots of fun at the first tea; we laughed together, cried together and had lovely things to eat.

Melissa Moses treated us with her beautiful voice and sparkling personality. Natasha Wallendorf demonstrated the Annique rooibos teas. Aunt Elsie and her friends sang for us and Aunt Elsie also shared a bit of her life.

It was a fabulous afternoon with wonderful friends!!!
