Pardon.... Say that again... What is that you are talking about... WELL, gone are the days when one becomes a recluse because one can not hear or understand when going out to social gatherings, or watching TV. Why not have your hearing evaluated. You will be amazed to discover the latest advances in digital technology in hearing aids with open ear technology that is so comfortable and discreet. Hearing aids that adjust to all environmental situations automatically, giving unsurpassed clarity allowing the user to UNDERSTAND what is being said. Hearing Aids, that with a small remote, can change channels and volume to suite the circumstances with the push of a button. Remember you don’t know what you can’t hear!!! SOOOO....... Why not try our walk in for a free diagnostic hearing test and walk out with a hearing aid for a trail period without any obligation.

HEARITE HEARING Call Gerry Brink, your Hearing Health Professional at: 533 2891 and make an appointment to have your hearing evaluated. He is available by appointment 7 days a week.

It is constitution week !

A week to celebrate our country’s remarkable constitution (one that is recognised as one of the best in the world, making sure that all people are afforded freedom and dignity.) What a blessing to live in this country, and in Plettenberg Bay in particular, where Nature’s magnitude and magnificence inspires us to rise to our greatest good, despite some disconcerting circumstances on occasion. We need to all remember that with rights there are always responsibilities. Each of us needs to aspire to be the most loving, sharing, giving, forgiving and caring person we can be. If for no other reason that that it makes our life and those around us so much happier! Have another wonderful fun-filled week in our Bay of Beauty!

PAWS Outreach KwaNokuthula On Saturday 25th February a team of veterinarians and volunteers performed a very successfully outreach programme vaccinating, deworming and dipping dogs in Kwanokuthula. PAWS would like to thank Phizer for donating vaccines and Vets, Dr Kathleen Davis from Knysna AWS, Dr Janet Biggar from Canada, Dr Brendan Tindall of Robberg Vet Clinic and volunteers who gave freely of their time. Over 200 dogs were treated and there were many grateful pet owners. Vets were impressed by the general good condition of pets which is a reflection that PAWS is gradually succeeded in creating pet health awareness. There will always remain huge areas of ignorance that constantly needs addressing. On the 22nd of April, PAWS will be holding a mass Sterilization day in Kwanokuthula funded by money raised by Horse & Hound and

Mangold Point Cuts, Highlights & Colours Michelle & Cathy: Tel No 044 533 6986 Cell: 071 297 2541 Heidi. This will greatly boost the work being done by the C.V.C. It is a never ending plight and with our premises finally taking shape, we look forward to positive progress. We thank the public for all donations and all sponsors that helps PAWS make these programmes possible.

J. EDGAR Crime, Drama, On the art circuit Clint Eastwood's latest biopic takes a look at the life of J. Edgar Hoover, who built and ran the FBI for 50 years. A complex individual, he amassed secret dossiers on everyone of note, and used this to secure his position and influence as presidents came and went.

On February 22nd Wednesday morning my car would not start due to a flat battery.

FREE Permanent Contraception (Sterilization) The Western Cape Department of Health has arranged a day to perform free permanent contraception (sterilisation) on Friday, March 2 in Plettenberg Bay Bitou residents who are interested in being sterilised are urged to visit their nearest

clinic as soon as possible to book an appointment for that day.

Communication officer for the Western Cape Health Department (Eden district), Nadia Ferreira explained, "Voluntary sterilisation is a free, quick, safe and easy procedure which takes about 20 minutes. Sterilisation should be considered when a person has as many children as he or she wishes to have." Male sterilisation is performed under a local anaesthetic. Patients are usually able to resume work the day after the operation. Female sterilisation is usually performed under general anaesthetic. Patients are advised to take a few days' rest after the surgery. It is important to note that sterilisation does not cure or prevent HIV/AIDS infection as believed by some. "Voluntary sterilisation is a positive step taken by responsible men and women who want to take charge of their lives to uplift themselves and their families by choosing this form of permanent contraception," said Ferreira. For more information, contact the nearest clinic: Crags Clinic - 044 534 8737; Kranshoek Clinic - 044 533 9333; KwaNokuthula Clinic - 044 533 6430; New Horizons Clinic - 044 533 6438; Plettenberg Bay CHC - 044 501 3700; Wittedrift Clinic - 044 535 9061.

Letter via the Editor As I write this I am very angry. One of our elderly foreign visitors were on their way to Knysna when they were pulled over by a traffic officer, they were told they were doing 120km in a 60km zone, our guest said that was impossible, (I know for a fact they would not do that speed) the traffic officer then informed him he had to pay R1000.00, the wife by now was anxious, he told the officer he did not have R1000.00 to which he replied R500.00 then, not knowing what to do and having an upset wife in the car our guest handed over the R500.00 to which the officer replied, thank you, no fine paper and walked off, unfortunately being bombarded suddenly he did not get officers name. How disgusting is that, what must our visitors think when realising they have been robbed and how many has it happened to before? So sorry he did not get his name, I do not usually wish bad on someone but I truly hope this perpetrator of the law gets his come -uppance when he does this to the wrong person one day, hopefully he will be dealt with severely. Enraged

Thought for the Week.

Psalm 73:28 [GNB] "But as for me, how wonderful to be near God, to find protection with the Sovereign LORD and to proclaim all that he has done!" The verse above comes from a psalm of Asaph, a poet and songwriter, a psalm in which he reveals to us some of his most intimate thoughts. In verses 1-5 he states: "God is indeed good to Israel, to those who have pure hearts. But I had nearly lost confidence; my faith was almost gone because I was jealous of the proud when I saw that things go well for the wicked. They do not suffer pain, they are strong and healthy, they do not suffer as other people do, they do not have the troubles that others have..." [Verses 2-5] Have you ever felt that way and have found it difficult to understand God's ways? Perhaps you are going through a very tough time right now and can't comprehend why God is not coming through for you, in spite of the fact that you love and serve Him with all of your heart; yet at the same time many of those around you who don't even give

God a thought in their lives seem to prosper and flourish. Asaph clearly battled with this and, at one point in time even said: "Is it for nothing, then, that I have kept myself pure and have not committed sin? O, God, You have made me suffer all day long; every morning You have punished me." [Verse 13-14] Then in verse 16 he remarks: "I tried to think this problem through, but it was too difficult for me." Many of us have probably been there where Asaph was; we, too, have looked at life and have concluded that it just wasn't fair surely as believers we deserve a little better? Then, however, we see a dramatic turning point in Asaph's thinking where he says: "...until I went into Your temple. Then I understood what will happen to the wicked. You will put them in slippery places and make them fall to destruction. They are instantly destroyed; they go down to a horrible end." [Verses 16-19] Listen to his further confession: "When my thoughts were bitter and my feelings were hurt, Yet I always stay close to you, and you hold me by the hand. You guide me with your instruction and at the end you will receive me with honor." [Verses 21-24] The answers to our many questions about our daily life on this planet with all the aches and pains, all the hardships and sufferings can only be found when we, like Asaph, turn to God and spend time in His presence and then we, too, can say: "But as for me, how wonderful to be near God, to find protection with the Sovereign LORD and to proclaim all that he has done!"

Oriented Birds Newsfeed Hello everyone, I welcome you into our hearts, as it appeared in the Tuesday son publication that we lost 3-0 to Salt River but the score was not the true reflection of the game thanks to the middle man (referee) which according to me and spectators was very pathetic. Just at the beginning of the 2nd half he sent our striker off out of the blue even the match commissioner was speechless about his behavior and again the referee’s in this country are killing our game.The league itself is very tough and very demanding but some teams who have financial back-up are sulsucceding as we see Cape Town All Stars will be playing. The well know Kaizer Chiefs on Saturday night @ 19H30 and they are not even log leaders. Milano F.C are the leaders so far and over the transfer window they have an inquiry on our player “kaka” which we gave them for free bloz we want our players to expand their talent. All the best to you Mfana. This week we are playing Ajax Cape Town here at home in New Horizon on Saturday @ 15H00. The field is now fit for football again, come all and cheer the boys. We have a lot of injuries and suspensions prior to this game which is an opportunity to the other player’s to cement their place in the starting eleven. Again, I urge our fans to come in numbers and keep on supporting this project. God Bless ya’ll From Lunga (Manager)

Letter via the Editor ERF 293 Building Violations I was dismayed to read ‘Concerned Citizen’s’ open letter to the Municipal Manager in last week’s What’s New, concerning ERF 293 overlooking the Milkwood Manor Guest House, where blatant building violations continue to take place with the full knowledge of the Municipality. I’ve also discovered that quite a few of my acquaintances in Plett are watching this situation with keen interest. I assume that if the Municipality simply gives this wealthy homeowner a slap on the wrist in terms of a paltry contravention levy, this opens the door for anyone in Plett to start building illegally, whether you are an owner of beachfront property or living in a settlement west of the town?

Conservation Corner Hello my name is Manon, and I am a volunteer at the Orca Foundation. Today we decided to tackle the problem in our seahorse tank! We were cleaning the tank one day when we spotted a sea anemone (species unknown). The problem is that they sting the seahorses, they eat the seahorse food and they seem to just keep multiplying! Many attempts have been made to banish them from the tank. However, all have been unsuccessful! We absolutely have to find a way to get

rid of them! Kim, Satu (other volunteers) and I searched far and wide on the internet, a way to eradicate these undesirable organisms. We searched information on three different species known to feed on anemones. These are namely filefish, butterfly fish and peppermint shrimp. One of these is bound to be fit for this laborious task. We will be experimenting with these three species, and will keep you updated on our progress (watch this space)! SALES ASSISTANT required matric certificate.

Free Maths Olympiad Teaching for Teachers Last week Basic Education Minister, Angie Motshekga, said her department was concerned over the number and quality of passes in mathematics and physical science, particularly given the specialised skills the country needed for its drive towards industrialisation, economic growth, and sustainable job creation. A very concerned Democratic Alliance Parliamentary Leader, Lindiwe Mazibuko MP, also said last week that almost 30% of students are taught mathematics by teachers with no mathematics qualification. National Professional Teachers’ Organisation of South Africa (NAPTOSA) spokesperson, Ezrah Ramasehla, welcomed Pres. Zuma’s State of the Nation address wherein he mentions investments in producing more teachers who can teach mathematics. With so many concerns about the state of the teaching of mathematics, the South African Mathematics Foundation (SAMF) in co-ordination with Dr Sudan Hansraj (UKZN) created a teacher development project, sponsored by Harmony Gold Mining Company.

The Harmony Teacher Development (HTD) project is a short course for teachers to improve their skills in solving Olympiad type mathematical problems. It is available as a live taught (GET and FET phases) or DVD course (Level 1 for GET and FET phases and Level 2 for GET phase) and certificates are issued which may be used for continuous professional development. “We encourage all mathematical teachers to take advantage of this unique opportunity to improve their problem solving skills,” says Prof Johann Engelbrecht, Executive Director of the SAMF. “Teachers can then go back to their classroom to train and enter their learners in the South African Mathematics Olympiad, which will result in a better quality of product from the schools and will put their learners in a position to reap higher achievement levels at university.” The live taught course is free of charge when a group of 20 teachers in the same area register for participation. The entry fee for the DVD course is R250 per teacher, which will be refunded when a teacher has completed the course. For more information on how to register, contact Patrick Rasehwete (Project Manager, SAMF) at 012 392-9348 or send an e-mail to rasehwetep@samf.ac.za WEDNESDAY'S - Dinner dance in the sea lounge set menu R145 three piece band Beacon Island 044 533 3545 USED ONLY ± half dozen time mobility scooter cost R2500 asking R10000 phone 044 5328 033 NEW COMPUTERS @ Kodak 044-533 5510 GARAGE SALE sms name & email to john 082 774 3530 PHYSIOTHERAPIST Natasha Pells General physio, hydrotherapy, strapping Call 044 533 6966 RENTALS @ CENTURY 21: 3 bedroom townhouse plus loft in Silver Ranch.

Notes from PAWS Our foundations have been dug for the kennelling section of our Clinic and we are hoping to have these up and running in the very near future. Our sincere thanks to Nuweplaas Kennels who have homed our adoption dogs for us. We really did not have anywhere else to go (other than fostering) to house these animals and we appreciate their help in this regard. In particular, we must give an enormous thank you to Jaki and Rebekah for their wonderful support and care of our adoption pets. They are to be commended for their contribution to our cause which often went beyond the call of duty! Fostering is another important facet of the PAWS plan of action and, although we continue to be

very grateful to those members of the public who willingly give of their time, funds and space to foster those animals in need of a temporary home. We thank Mandy Hammond for her dedication to the welfare of the dog population in the Bitou area. She and her family have welcomed all kinds and sizes of dogs into their home without question and we have been extremely fortunate to have her as part of our ‘family of carers’. Mandy has recently joined one of the vets in town to continue her work. We wish you all the best in your new endeavour, Mandy. Now that we are getting ever closer to having our own clinic up and running, and will soon be involved in the kennelling aspect of this, we have to give more time and thought to fund raising and the donation side of PAWS. The public donations of dog and cat food put in the baskets at Pick ‘n Pay, Melvilles Spar and Kwikspar are very much appreciated, particularly as we no longer get any help from our previous source of the supply of torn and damaged dog and cat food bags. We will be increasing the number of Jumble Sales we hold and ask you to bear in mind that we will be happy to either collect your jumble, or arrange a drop-off point for the donations. Please phone our PAWS number 083 287 9917 to ask for assistance in this regard. Our next street collection will be held on 30th March, 2012 and we would be most grateful for any volunteers to help us ‘man’ our collection points. The times are 9.00 – 10.00 a.m., 10.00 – 11.00 a.m., 11.00 – 12.00 and 12.00 – 1.00 p.m. Anyone willing to help can phone Yvonne Raath on 083 448 4301. WALK FOR WELLNESS with "Out & About".

RCCLA sponsors aspiring Tour Guides

Article by Sharyn Hodges Phillip Damonds, a qualified tourist guide / operator and founder of Kranshoek Township Tours (together with Starling Village Backpackers receive many students and international visitors for their daily tours), recognized the struggles not only to improve his qualifications as tour guide but also the struggles of an enthusiastic and eager individual, wanting to join this exciting department, Tourism. South Africa welcomes over 8.5 million international arrivals annually and contributes at least R100 billion a year to the economy, excited to come our beautiful country. Exploring our natural scenery from soaring mountains, lush forests and

vegetation, vast open deserts, intriguing wildlife and bird-watching, whale and dolphin watching, diving and snorkeling, blue flag beaches, the list goes on and on. Most tourism training meetings, needed travelling to George, Mossel Bay and even as far as Cape Town, Phillip saw this as a stumble block as not all Tour Guides or aspiring Tour Guides, have the ways and means to get to this cities. At one specific meeting in George he met Magda Benadé from Montavigus Projects; she is an accredited NQF assessor, facilitator and moderator, as well as SAFE assessor. Together they formed an alliance, Phillip is now is Magda’s co-facilitator for the Plettenberg Bay region and with enough training, will become a facilitator for this region. Philip, now with the backing of Magda, needed to find a sponsor to help fund, he met Chris von Christierson from Robberg Coastal Corridor Landowners Association (RCCLA), who was more than willing to sponsor, after several meetings, RCCLA was excited to sponsor five suitable candidates for a Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL) course. This opportunity is available for guides who are able to show proof of previous knowledge and experience. The assessor will supply you with the necessary guidelines, assignments and tests. Assessment Assessment is done continuously during the training sessions by observation, questioning, product samples and written communication using the relevant instruments such as evidence matrix’s, checklists, questionnaires, assignments, portfolio of evidence. All files will be moderated and verified after assessment has taken place for quality assurance purposes

BEFORE certificates are issued. Certification and DEDAT Registration Once learners receive their Certificate of Attendance and a Statement of Results, they will be able to register with the Department of Tourism and Environmental Affairs to be legally registered as Tourist Guides. Tourist guides are regulated by the Tourist Guide Act. Training commences in March 2012 and we wish them all good luck and will keep a close eye on their progress. We look forward to welcoming 5 new Tour Guides to our beautiful region.

Letter from the Ed We received a number of letters from residents regarding the recent violence and destruction of property. We felt that publishing these letters, would only add to the disharmony in our beloved area. We urge everyone to continue to pray for our leaders and residents. The only way we will ever make things work to the benefit of all is to honestly work together with love, caring and compassion. The only question that should ever be asked is: What’s best for Plett? And then to do it!

www.helloplett.co.za WHAT'S NEW IN PLETT - 1 MARCH 2012

A bumper year ahead for buyers With the outlook for the market predicted to remain relatively flat, this is one of the best years in which to buy property. If you don’t already own your own home or if you are looking for a second property, then now is the time to buy as the market is offering value not seen for years. Buying in a down market can be one of the smartest moves, but the bargain deals won’t last. By waiting for prices and interest rates to decline further, you risk getting caught up in a market on the upswing. On the back of renewed global economic uncertainty, both demand and property prices came under pressure last year as buyers and especially investors took a cautious approach. This has created one of the most favourable buyers’ markets in years. Interest rates are still at a 30-year low and mortgages are now more affordable than ever. Property prices are at the lowest levels in years and you are unlikely to get a better deal than what is on offer in the market right now. Given that properties are now taking on average between four and six months to sell, motivated sellers are quite willing to negotiate and buyers have a real opportunity to buy smart. While home ownership is not just about the investment potential, it is still a comparably safe way of investing money and, if you hold on to it long enough, history has shown that it will generally appreciate in value over time. While other asset classes such as the stock market can yield high returns, it also carries a high risk of potential loss of capital. Property on the other hand offers relative stability with the underlying potential of capital growth. For this reason, many investors tend to balance their investment portfolios by including property. Historically, house prices have escalated well into the upper teens and over twenty percent between 2000 and 2007 if we look at the ABSA House Price Index. Even in the two years leading up to the global housing market crisis of 2007, prices escalated at 14.95 on average. Following the crisis, there has naturally been a significant adjustment resulting in prices last seen about four years ago. A second home on the coast or in the country has become a popular option for many looking to escape the hustle and bustle of the ever growing cities to more tranquil surroundings at every opportunity. Many of the country’s quaint towns offer highly affordable prices for large homes and lifestyle farms. Similarly, there is still real value on offer in the smaller coastal villages such as the Cape’s West and Southern Coast. Here, buyers can still find lovely seaside homes and cottages, priced from around R1 million while vacant plots start from around R500,000. Even in the primary coastal markets such as Cape Town, Durban’s North Coast and along the Garden Route, there are excellent value investment properties in the market; many at prices last seen about four years ago. South Africa has over the past few years gained international prominence and has become one of the most desirable countries in the world to visit and own property in. There can be no greater commitment than owning a home here and if foreigners are seeing the beauty and value then we should too. In view of increasing international and domestic tourism, many coastal and urban areas experience high seasonal rental demand. This rental income can serve as a contribution towards an asset that could for example ultimately serve as your retirement home. Prospective buyers should do their homework – talk to the locals and work with a credible real estate agent who should be in a position to advise whether you are making a good purchase regardless of whether you are looking to buy your first home, a second or investment property.

Vernissage IV 2012 "Ons skrik vir niks"! Vernissage IV – is going multi-lingual this year, with the French expression ‘Vernissage’ meaning 'an informal preview where friends come for a glass of wine whilst some of the art receives its final coat of varnish' and ‘Ons skrik vir niks’! an Afrikaans expression for ‘'we are scared of nothing!'…. Yes! It's that time again, but this time not only for the talented life drawing & sculpture artists of Plettenberg Bay to display their chosen work of 2011. This year’s exhibition extends welcome to all local artists taking inspiration from ‘the human form’ which can be expressed through painting, drawing, sculpture, photography, music, poetry as well as the performance arts. Guests are invited in the theme of Ons skrik vir niks! to come dressed ‘weird & wonderful’, with the opportunity to view and purchase from a collection of life drawings, paintings, sculptures, photography and poetry. Vernissage IV will be opening on Thursday 29th March 2012, at the studio of Myfanwy Bekker at 11 Main Street, Suite #1, Plettenberg Bay. You are invited to join us for a glass of wine to celebrate the opening at 6pm by Marguerite Stevens, the celebrated weaver and fibre artist whose beautiful tapestries have hung in famous galleries in most of the major cities

in the world. Marguerite has also been busy these recent years with William Kentridge, weaving his works into giant pieces of tapestry shown world-wide. The show will be open daily from 10am – 4pm & 10am – 7pm on Fridays (closed on Sundays) until 11th April 2012. Now local artist (ex USA based ) Myfanwy Bekker-Balajadia explains" "the event is a wonderful opportunity for all us artists to get together again. To showcase our most interesting work of 2011 and to validate oneself as an artist”. In the past, Vernissage has always been hugely popular, with over 200 guests attending the opening event. Don't miss this one!

Good News… President Zuma confirms that the Plettenberg Bay court will be built soon! It was reassuring to have the word of the president himself that our much needed court will be built in the near future. In his state of the nation debate reply last week President Jacob Zuma said The South African government takes the fight against crime and corruption extremely seriously To promote access to justice, the Department of Justice and Constitutional Development completed additions to the Supreme Court of Appeal in Bloemfontein as well as constructing a new wing in the Western Cape High Court. Three new courts had been completed in the Tsakane, Ntuzuma and Kagiso townships, and construction would soon be complete on a new High Court in Limpopo province, as well as a new court in Katlehong. "We will also be starting with the construction of a new High Court in Mpumalanga, and that of new courts in Mamelodi, Port Shepstone, Dimbaza, Bityi and Plettenberg Bay," Zuma said.

CHATTERBOX -

I was so excited to get a response from my column, from "concerned citizen". I know it was a smack on the knuckles, but, IT WAS RECOGNITION. I have been writing all the nonsense in my head for two years now. This is my first reply, which makes it worth it for me, as it does take time to write these things and I thought nobody was in the least bit interested - so I was about to give up. To get back to my "concerned citizen". My columns may sound flippant but actually my friends & us, do take drinking and driving seriously. There is always a selected sober driver or they call a cab. Luckily Beloved does not partake so we are always safe. Since my diet started nearly five months ago, I too am quite a boring party goer. Except for my four years living in Plett at the sea and two years in Mombasa, I have always lived inland. I cannot get over how things rust here and we are at the top of the hill behind town, not on the beach. My white appliances that arrived from Johannesburg spotless and shining after ten years, are rusting away before my eyes. The other day I moved one appliance and it kind of fell over to one side. On closer inspection, a wheel had rusted off. I find rust in the most peculiar places, like on metal parts of my handbags that are stored inside cupboards. Beloved's car, which is a Johannesburg model, is also rusting away. I told him the other day that pretty soon he would be driving along sitting on the seat, with only the steering wheel to hang onto. The rest will have rusted away. I suggested he trade it in, but Beloved, being Beloved, and very careful with money, decided to qualm my fears "his way". he took it to a panel beater, and a few days later, the van is back and looking brand new. I have this funny

feeling that one should not lean on that car at anytime . Have just got back from the big smoke, after seeing my daughter turn forty. I have told the kids that they are all getting older than me as I am staying at forty five, come what may. Once again I compared the sidewalks and streets to Plett. We really do have an incredibly clean and tidy town. Yes I know that Johannesburg is lots bigger and has many more occupants, but there is not one sidewalk that is kept tidy, unless it belongs to a private owner. The grass and weeds are so high at some intersections, one cannot see oncoming traffic. Added to that is the rubbish blowing around. I wonder what happens to the "cleaning up" money in that city. I believe when an overseas contingent is arriving, they do have a quick clean-up and the difference is amazing. Well done Plett, pass the news on. Their cars are mostly bigger and smarter and newer. The houses all have the highest of walls and the latest security thingies. We passed two private schools side by side, at lunch time, the mess was unbelievable and the students were just chucking rubbish left right and centre. When I was at school in Kenya - the rules were unbelievably strict about dumping stuff. We used to get "order marks" for that kind of offence, and "conduct marks" for more serious things like being cheeky. Three order marks made one conduct mark, and three conduct marks you were expelled!!!!! Taking that in mind these kids in Joeys could have been expelled after the first two weeks at school. One can eat off the streets in Singapore and that is just discipline and order. Well that is all now from the "Obsessive Compulsive Disorder" Chatterbox

The Month of Love

The month of love So I have been told Has started unfolding a great deal of memories Saw my friends happy Saw my family cry For someone they have loved Has come to their end and died. From there one needs to pick up the pieces And mould on a smile, ‘Cause everywhere you go, there is a happy goodbye. Seeing all these hearts But you know yours is broken, But who wants to share words unspoken In the month of love? This month shouldn’t only be for lovers It shouldn’t only be there for friends It should be there for people fighting And hoping for the best to a perfect end. This leap year, send love to patients Send love to the under priviledged Send love to the neighbours, Especially when they know your house’s ends. Send love above Send love to all Send love to people you care less about And you’ll feel that you have been spoilt with all. But don’t forget the people Who made a difference in your life, If it’s friends, family or an enemy Or even a lover per say Give them everything for the bestest day. They might seem happy, But somewhere they can be sad, Just put some love in their hearts With a smile and a hug, Then March, which will be Autumn, Will have a brilliant start. By: Olivia Pika

Die Sonop Groep Jenny Damonds rapporteer: Op Vrydag 17 Februarie 2012 besoek Laura Theobold van Nedbank die Sonop Groep in Kranshoek. Die besoekie het n brood nodige donasie teweeggebring. Breekgoed,messe en vurke, wol, breinaalde en kombersies vir die mensies se bene in die winter. Asook n bed en beddegoed vir die siekeboeg wat die Roundtable aangebou het. Auntie Mienie sê sy was skoon emosioneel, baie aangedaan, want so iets het nog gebeur laas toe die gebou klaar was. In die meeste gevalle doen die komittee self hul eie fonds insameling. Die donasie wat hulle vrydag ontvang het is deur ‘;n fondsinsameling by die Hyatt Hotel in Oubaai ingevorder. Tans is daar 30 gestremde mense met verskillende humeure sê auntie Mienie. Volgens die dame was Sonop ‘n projek van Child Welfare SA. Die groep is al 14 jaar aan die gang sê auntie Julie Andrews wat ook al jare by die welsyn betrokke is. Hulle het op Sondae vergaderings gehou by oom Hekkie Corje se huis. Die plan, om ‘n Epilepsie groep te stig. Daarna trek hulle toe na die geboutjie waar die polisie kantoor tans is. Raadslid Dreyer toe nog Raadslid in Kranshoek, raai hulle aan om vir die grond oorkant die kantoor aansoek te doen. Op daardie tydstip was daar geld beskikbaar by die Housing Trust. Sy se baie van hulle projekte het nog nie gematerialiseer nie. Maar destyds was hul visie: tehuise vir gestremdes, oumense, mishandelde vroue en HIV gevalle. Niks is nog verlore nie, sê sy. By die geleentheid was ook die Field Band met projek bestuurder Bridjet en die founder van die groep Tony Lubner. Die meneer besluit toe aangesien hulle ook ‘n donasie van Nedbank ontvang klap hulle sommer twee vliee met een klap. By die geleentheid was daar net team leaders. Die twee van Plett was Fabian Lucas en Cheslin Louw. Die anders was soos Bridget dit gestel het, "today we are from all over. Hulle het die Sonop groep met musiek vermaak. Die Field Band is drie jaar gelede deur Tony Lubner begin. Hulle is altesaam 250 kinders. Hulle maak net van skool kinders gebruik omdat hul hoofdoel is om kinders van die straat af te hou. Die Field Band hou altesaam 30 funksies per jaar. Daarna hou hulle ‘n nasionale funksie in Oktober in Johannesburg.

"Last year we did a survey and 96% of the children in the field band passed matric. Also less than 1% was tested positive for HIV," said Lubner. Like he said, "this thing needs a lot of money to keep it going."
