The Ridge 7 February 2008

The children of the Care Village were once again treated to a visit from the General Manager and staff members of The Ridge Entertainment Centre. The children were each presented with their own parcel of toiletries and other goodies. Their appreciation was clear from their spontaneous applause and expressions on their faces. The visit was made more special by a donation of furniture, cutlery, bedding and electrical appliances by The Ridge at the same occasion.

Visit by Canadians

On Friday 29 February 2008 a group of Canadian visitors was hosted at the Care Village. Among the group were a number of Rotarians who had recently contributed to a matching grant which had enabled the purchase of indoor and outdoor sports equipment, beds and mattresses, the sinking of boreholes and a number of other projects. The Rotarian Clubs represented were Stathroy, Grand Bend, London and Forest. After they had been welcomed, the guests were taken on a tour of the facilities. The visit ended with a meeting between the visitors and the local Rotary Clubs of Middelburg and Witbank. During the meeting banners were exchanged and donations towards the work of the local Rotary Clubs and the Care Village were made. On the photos the visitors can be seen at the newly established vegetable garden as well as during the presentation.
