The Recycle Swap Shop in Zwelihle makes a difference to between 100 – 150 children daily as they are encouraged to clean up the community and bring plastic, glass and tins for recycling to the shop to be weighed for reward.We were able to help in a small way and delivered 30 tennis balls and 64 toy cars to be used in their shop and a whole lot of easter eggs as a special treat. The young leaders also make sandwiches to give to all the children coming to do recycling. How great is it that children are being rewarded for their recycling efforts….so encouraging!

Mount Pleasant Soup Kitchen Maria-Anita Pieterse is a wonder Angel to the people in her community. She feeds over 200 people a day at her Soup Kitchen which she cooked in her bedroom with a 2 plate gas hob. With the help of advertising her wonderful work she has now been able to upgrade her facility to a proper outside room where she can cook and people can come in out of the bad weather to get their food. We donated Soup ingredients from our Christmas in July party and are now also able to assist her on a monthly basis from our Bargain Box Funds.

Alec Hogg offered us a unique international perspective on the future of South Africa, giving us a glimpse of the hope that lies ahead. The breakfast was provided by The Hermanus Golf Club which was absolutely delicious, and we couldn’t have asked for a more interesting and successful event.

The Alec Hogg fundraiser was to assist local young soccer players to purchase boots and training equipment who do not currently have access to proper soccer equipment. “U13 Rotary Super Eagles 3 Hermanus All Stars” – are in need of any pre-loved soccer boots, balls, training items like cones etc.
