Sponsorship Vukani

The Care Village has recently been blessed with two big sponserships by Vukani Gaming Corporation. The old fencing around the Care Village has been replaced by a steel palisade fence which not only ensures greater security on the premises, but has also improved the appearance of the Care Village. Through the donation of a large amout of electrical appliances, the kitchen is being upgraded and our dream of establishing our own laundry will soon be a reality. THANK YOU VUKANI!

Rotary Clubs assist with a large matching grant

The Middelburg Rotary Club and the Strathroy Rotary club in Canada initiated a process for a matching grant in aid of the Middelburg Care Village through the Rotary Foundation during December 2007 after a meeting between Rotarian Chris Das (from Strathroy) and PP Andre Brandmuller(from Middelburg).

As a result of the incredible efforts of Dianne Twynstra and Chris Dasin Canada the grant grew to include contributions from Middelburg, Strathroy, and the clubs of Forest and Grand Bend in Canada.

The amount of R211 000,00 was paid into the project account in the beginning of October 2007 as a result of the approval of the grant.

The Middelburg Care Village will benefit with workshop tools, playground equipment, furnishings, Linen, curtains, duvets, crockery and cutlery, beds and mattresses. In addition the boreholes on the property will be redrilled and assist in the supply of fresh water for, amongst others, the new vegetable and fruit garden.

The Rotary Foundation and its matching grant programme has again assisted in the needs of an organisation which is trying to assist those who need it most.

A big THANK YOU to all involved!!!!!
