It is estimated that more than 24 million people around the world are HIV positive. In order to create awareness of the AIDS pandemic, World AIDS Day was launched in 1988. World AIDS Day is held on 1 December each year and is an opportunity for people to show support for people living with HIV and to commemorate people who have died. Western Cape Minister of Social Development, Albert Fritz says the consequences of risky sexual behaviour and the deaths from the HIV/AIDS pandemic have affected the most vulnerable segments of society, specifically children. He says an indication of the vulnerability of children is the finding of Census 2011 that 19 645 South African children are reported to have lost both their mother and father, many of them have died from AIDS-related illnesses. But many believe the tide is turning in the fight against AIDS. City’s Mayoral Committee Member for Health, councillor Benedicta Van Minnen, says HIV testing in Cape Town is at an all-time high, as reported by City Health, with nearly 200 000 tests over a three-month period earlier this year. “We need to encourage more men to get tested, especially since unprotected sex remains a very real concern in the South African context. If you do not get tested, you don’t know your status and you cannot access lifesaving treatment,” says councillor Van Minnen.

Matrikulant verloor sig TAMSYN JANTJIES
Chantel Hendricks is ’n matriekleerder aan Hoërskool Gordon en het verlede week haar eindeksamen voltooi soos talle ander matrikulante. Maar Chantel staar ’n groot uitdaging in die gesig omdat sy besig is om blind te raak in haar regteroog. Verlede jaar het sy en een van haar vriendinne gesit toe haar vriendin oplet dat Chantel se regter-oog “nie reg” lyk nie. Chantel se vriendin het toe gekyk en gesien dat die oog op ’n punt getrek is. Kort daarna is Chantel na ’n oogkundige waar sy uitgevind het sy ly aan Keratokonus. Dit is ’n aandoening wat veroorsaak dat die kornea verdun en visuele vervorming veroorsaak. Chantel se toestand is al só gevorderd dat sy nou ’n kornea-oorplanting moet ondergaan. Chantel sê dié toestand beïnvloed haar leerpatroon. Waar sy in die verlede vir twee tot drie ure aanhoudend kon sit en leer, kan sy nou slegs vir ’n uur voor haar boeke sit dan moet sy rus. “Dit beïnvloed my nie só erg nie. Dis iets wat buite my beheer is en ek is nou al gewoond daaraan.” Sy wil volgende jaar graag in ’n onderwysrigting gaan studeer. Chantel vertel toe sy jonger was wou sy ’n kindersielkundige word, want
Chantel Hendricks is blind in haar regteroog as gevolg van Keratokonus, ’n toestand wat die verdunning van die kornea veroorsaak asook visuele vervorming. Haar ma, Geraldine Hendricks, is onseker hoe dinge gaan verloop in die toekoms. Ten spyte hiervan is hulle albei baie positief. FOTO: TAMSYN JANTIES sy wou graag mense help en ’n verskil maak in hul lewe. Sy het later besef sy kan dit steeds doen as ’n onderwyser. Geraldine Hendricks, Chantel se ma, sê toe hulle aanvanklik die oogkundige gaan sien het, het hy gesê hy kan ’n kornea-oorplanting doen, maar omdat Chantel se toestand só gevorderd is, het sy ’n operasie nodig wat ’n nuwe prosedure verg. Hulle wil graag die operasie vroeg volgende jaar gedoen hê, voordat
Chantel universiteit toe gaan, want haar ma hou nie van die idee dat haar dogter op universiteitsvlak nog moet sukkel om te studeer nie. Maar dié operasie is ’n duur saak, die nuwe kornea moet ingevoer word van oorsee en dit alleen kos R27 000, en die ander hospitaalkostes sal R25 000 beloop. Kort ná die gesin uitgevind het van Chantel se toestand het haar ma probeer om geld in te samel deur ’n kosverkope te hou en haar werk het ’n karaoke-aand gehou. Maar albei het min geld ingebring. Geraldine sê hulle moet nog 90% van die geld insamel en ongelukkig dek hulle mediese fonds nie dié tipe operasie nie. Chantel kan wel ’n kornea kollageen kruisbinding-operasie ondergaan wat die kollageen verhoog in albei oë, wat verhoed dat die oog uitbult as gevolg van die Keratokonus. Hoe langer hulle wag om die korneaoorplanting te doen, hoe groter is die kans dat haar linkeroog ook gaan verswak. Twee weke gelede het die DistriksPos ’n brief gepubliseer van Shane Daniels. Hy en ’n paar van sy vriende het besluit om Chantel se matriekafskeid te borg. Dit is toe hulle van haar toestand uitgevind het. Daniels het gevoel hy moet ’n manier kry om nog hulp in te kry. Chantel se matriekafskeid is op 5 Desember en sy is baie opgewonde en kan nie wag vir die aand om aan te breek nie.
This group of young people from Teen Life Youth Ministries held a Street Store for the homeless in the Helderberg area on 8 November. They were greeted with smiles and tears of joy.
Homeless shop for clothes and shoes
A local group of teenagers held a Street Store for the Helderberg’s homeless people on 8 November.
The members of Teen Life Youth Ministries were met with smiles and tears of joy. The community donated clothes to the cause, giving the homeless a rare opportunity to “shop”. The Street Store concept was created by Max Pazak and Kayli Levitan from Cape Town, where clothes are literally hung out in the street, turning it into an outside shopping area. The difference is that the patrons do not need any currency to retrieve selected items. The Street Store is aimed solely at homeless people and affords them
the experience of being able to peruse through items of clothing and shoes before deciding which are to their liking and what they will be choosing for themselves. So many clothes were donated for the Helderberg event that the ± 50 homeless people could not take all the clothing with them. Teen Life’s director, Dezi Rampton, says: “It was a great success and I hope to see the Street Store grow, as it offers hope’’. Dezi plans to have more of these pop-up stores, but is not sure as to when the next Street Store will be. Community members wanting to donate to the cause can contact Life Church at 021 855 2329.

Manager of the Animal Welfare Society, Julia Evans, addressed the audience about the challenges of capturing and housing stray cats and dogs. The Animal Welfare Society takes in about 3 000 stray cats and dogs per year, they are cleaned, fed and given veterinary treatment where needed and homes are found for as many as possible. Only two veterinarians are employed by the Society and they serve the whole Helderberg region. Sadly many of these animals have to be euthanised. The Local Network Of Care aims to reintegrate homeless people back into society. Some of these people have been living on the street for up to eight years and the reintegration is a long and daunting process. Drugs, cheap alcohol, and the difficulty to find accommodation hamper

The Helderberg Hospice Foundation was represented by Patricia McNaught-Davis and she spoke about the extended range of care and support services for the terminally ill that they provide. Volunteer assistants make frequent comforting and
counselling visits to the terminally ill and their families. These organisations all spoke about how difficult it gets to render these services as they struggle financially and with resources. For the audience it was humbling to learn what is done, how great the need is and how grateful the recipients are.

‘Swop Shop’ bied ’n wenresep vir herwinning TAMSYN JANTJIES Sir Lowry’s Pass Primêr en Laerskool Beaumont se Swop Shop-projek het onlangs sy eerste verjaardag gevier. Die Swop Shop is ’n prettige manier om kinders betrokke te kry by herwinning en ook om hulle te leer hoe om vir die omgewing om te gee. Ter selfde tyd leer hulle ook hoe om verantwoordelik inkopies te doen vir hulself en hul huisgesinne. Die “winkel” laat kinders herwinbare produkte vir nie-bederfbare kruideniersware verruil. Die idee van dié projek het sowat twee jaar gelede by Carol Viljoen, ’n onderwyser aan Laerskool Beaumont, posgevat nadat sy hieroor in ’n koerantartikel gelees het. Ná ’n jaar se navorsing het die gesamentlike projek tussen die twee skole in 2013 begin. Albei skole se leerders vind baat by die projek. Die leerders van Sir Lowry’s Pass word aangemoedig om herwinbare materiaal in te samel en dit dan saam skool toe te bring. Dié leerders word dan volgens ’n puntestelsel vergoed vir die items wat hulle versamel het. Een punt word toegeken vir ’n plastiek bottel. Die maksimum punt is vyf, afhangende van wat hulle inbring. Ná hulle punte ingesamel het, kan hulle dit by die Swop Shop verruil vir items van hul keuse wat deur die Beaumont-leerders verskaf word. “Hier is slegs nuwe produkte in die winkel en niks tweedehands word aangehou nie’’, sê Carol. Beaumont-leerders word aangemoedig om elke week items vir die winkel te bring.

Donovan Vaaltyn, hoofopsigter en koördineerder van die Swop Shop by Sir Lowry’s Pass, sê die kinders is baie opgewonde oor die projek en het min motivering nodig om hul herwinbare produkte elke week in te bring. Die winkel hou als aan wat ’n familie of kind sal nodig hê, van lekkers en blikkieskos tot klere en skool behoeftes. Volgens Vaaltyn is die kinders gaande oor die lekkergoed. Dit maak dit sekerlik nog soeter omdat hulle dit met hul eie punte kon koop. Sir Lowry’ Pass Primêr het gemiddeld 450 leerders wat weekliks herwinbare produkte inbring. Wasteplan kollekteer weekliks so om en by 2,5 ton herwinbare produkte en betaal dan 20c per klogram aan Sir Lowry’s Pass Primêr.

Central Mini Market Happy Hour promotion
Committie’s new show to raise funds for NPOs Masikhule, ECHO and the Somerset West night shelter have been fortunate enough to secure one night of Alan Committie’s new show, The Sound of Laughter. The Sound of Laughter promises to be a night of merry mirth that you don’t want to miss out on!
After entertaining international audiences, Alan Committie (of Defending the Caveman fame) is coming to share his thoughts on turning 40, set to the theme tune of the world’s most beloved show, The Sound of Music.

Skep ’n asemrowende Kersfeestafel
Team Shrek is ready for next year’s Cansa’s Relay for Life. They have already had several fundraisers in aid of Cansa this year.
Relay for Life 2015
The annual Cansa Relay For Life Helderberg will be held on the weekend of 7 and 8 February at the Hottentots Holland High School. Teams of 10 – 15 people will be walking the track throughout the night in commemoration of those who have lost the battle against cancer and also to celebrate the lives of those affected by the disease. The programme will be filled with entertainment and games and there will be various food stalls. At the Relay for Life earlier this year, the Daniels family were the top contributors and donated more than R10 000 to Cansa. The family’s journey with Cansa started in 2012 when
two of their family members were diagnosed with lung and prostate cancer respectively. After the passing of an uncle last year, the family was even more determined to make a difference and raise awareness about the disease and Roxanne Daniels of Somerset West contacted Cansa on their behalf. They have since held four fundraisers for the Cansa Relay for Life for 2015. Clark Pools and Dstv-R-us also joined forces as Team Shrek and have had four fundraisers since the beginning of the year. They also started Movember, in support of prostate cancer, with a boot sale.
Dans en jolyt by Mej. Dreamgirl Die Mej. Dreamgirl-kompetisie word hierdie Saterdag 6 Desember by die Sekondêre Skool Rusthof gehou. Die geleentheid begin om 19:30 en toegang is R30 per persoon. Die bekende dansgroep, God’s Crew van

Kersfees is om die draai en indien jy beoog om ’n groot Kersfees-ete vir familie en vriende te hou, is dit nou die tyd om jou Kersfeestafel te beplan. ’n Mooi tafel hoef nie ’n duur affêre te wees nie. Jy kan daaglikse huishoudelike items gebruik en omskep om ’n indrukwekkende en feestelike atmosfeer te skep. Gebruik jou wit tafeldoek as basis en plaas dan ’n groen of rooi loper om ’n Kerfeeskleur aan die tafel te gee. Indien jy nie ’n loper het nie, kan een vinnig gemaak word deur die lengte en breedte van die tafel te meet. Sny dan ’n groen of rooi lap dat dit dieselfde lengte as die tafel is en die helfte van die tafel se breedte. Kap dit om met jou naaldwerkmasjien en plaas dit in die middel van jou tafel. Kerse is ’n moet vir ’n Kerfeestafel en hier is ’n geleentheid om kreatief te raak. Indien jy klein keramiek blompotte het, kan jy wit en rooi lang kerse “plant” in die potte. Gebruik grond om die kers te stabiliseer en plaas mooi klippies rondom die kers en bind ’n mooi lint om die pot. As jy ’n mooi silwer skinkbord het, kan jy verskeie grootte kerse op die skinkbord rangskik en mooi takkies
van geurige plante soos roosmaryn tussen die kerse plaas. Gebruik dit wat jy in jou tuin het om lewe aan jou tafel te gee. Indien jy vetplante in mooi potjies het kan dit op die tafel geplaas word om tekstuur en kleur na die tafel te bring. Pak jou wit borde en eetgerei uit en plaas ’n wit servet op elke bord. Plaas stukkies kaneelbas en takkies roosmaryn voor op die servet

As jy besondere plekaanwysers wil maak, kan jy mooi klippe uit jou tuin gaan soek en skryf die name op die klippe met kokipen. Indien jy kunstig voel kan jy gerus die klippe verf en versier.
