Mandela Day. A fun and interesting morning @ Haws (Hermanus Animal Welfare Society) packing dog food that the Rotary Club of Hermanus had donated! A great turnout of volunteers, HAW’s employees and Rotarians having a great morning working hard and all received a surprise reward of coffee and delicious eats. Thank you for all the donations and support for the Nibbles Community Project that helps to keep the doggies in the community well fed at affordable prices. Further large donations for infrastructure projects   In addition, 35 blankets were purchased and delivered to HAWS.

Supporting New Moms and Babies – Mother’s day The Hermanus High School Interactors organised and distributed 28 gift parcels including baby wipes, diapers, a toy and clothing. They supplied Hermanus Mediclinic and Hermanus Provincial Hospital. This was to honour the Mom’s and Babies in hospital over Mothers Day.

The Annual Toy Run took place at the end of November, organised by our sister Rotary club of Stanford. We received a generous allocation of the toys, which our Rotaractors helped distribute to various ECDs round the town.

Such a pleasure gifting some baby clothes, blankets & sheets to assist mothers and their babies who have limited means.
