School selfies with Paxton
Paxton Fillies captures a moment with learners from Stratford Primary School in Eerste River, one of the Peninsula Schools Feeding Association’s (PSFA) beneficiary schools. Paxton, along with Jarrad Ricketts (courtesy of Heart FM) and Johnny Apple will be performing live at the finish line of the PSFA’s 51st Blisters for Bread fun run taking place at Green Point Cricket Club on Sunday 25 August. The event will include two routes along the Sea Point Promenade, a 10km walk that starts at 07:30 and a 5km walk that starts at 08:00. Entries cost R60 and each entry helps PSFA to provide 24 school children with a nutritious cooked breakfast and lunch for an entire day. A host of food and refreshment stores will be available for everyone’s enjoyment and lots of prizes will be up for grabs at the event. Visit www.psfa.org.za for more information and to enter.

‘AWEHENESS’ FOUNDATION: TO ENCOURAGE EDUCATION IN BONTEHEUWEL
PJ Twins bring hope TARRYN-LEIGH SOLOMONS @tarryns07
N
ow that they’ve returned after securing fourth place in The Voice SA season three, the PJ Twins say they will now focus on their non-profit organisation (NPO), The Aweheness Foundation Trust. TygerBurger met with Peter and John Talmarkes at their home in Bonteheuwel on Monday 15 July where they shared what they will be doing in the community and sin-
ging aspirations they have their eyes set on. Peter is the co-founder of the foundation and John a trustee. “The NPO was registered in 2016 with the focus on encouraging education as well as reading and writing,” says Peter. John adds: “With this youth empowerment initiative we want our youth in the area to move forward. “Growing up in Bonteheuwel made us see life in a different way and during that time we remained positive for what we want our
end goal to be. We were moulded to see differently and help those in need because there are children who are growing up in worse situations than we are.” Peter says people’s perceptions of Bonteheuwel need to change: “They must change their mindsets and see that there are also positive aspects. “When people read about the area or hear the name, they think the entire Bonteheuwel is about negativity but that isn’t the case. It’s all about the choices that we have to make.”
The duo, who attended Mimosa Primary School and Bridgetown High School, started singing at the age of five. “Our singing started in my mother’s backyard. We have always loved music,” says John. About the organisation, Peter adds that they seek to attract the youth as many children in the community tend to drop out of school. It’s important for people to read and write.” V To page 2.
