Phathisanani means "all together" and this is what they are doing, under leadership of Mvuyisi Mkhondweni. |
ABOUT fifty women from Mbekweni are involved in a new project for the Valley, bringing hope to the poor and destitute.
|

Three weeks ago the local group started with crocheting and sewing, but Phathisanani also makes provision for art, beadwork, carpentry, welding, shoemaking, motor repairs, electrical work, plumbing, recycling and gardening. The raw material is provided by the project and they also collect and market the services and products afterwards. Members that are able, pay R10 per month for membership. The project cares for HIV/Aids as well as TB patients, especially where patients have reached the terminal stage of the diseases and are family outcasts. Mkhondweni said they have a major problem with collecting and delivering donations. They collect food and other donations on a daily basis from farms and other businesses for distribution at schools and clinics. The Project in Mbekweni is operating from a residential property converted into offices. They are in desperate need of office equipment, paying exorbitant fees for fax and e-mail facilities at the moment. Any material, wool, patterns, knitting needles, crocheting pens, equipment or sewing machines will be most welcome. People that want more information or want to help with donations can phone Thenyiswa Mzinzi, at 073-231-1731 or 868-3103. |

DIE bekende Diabetes-Kliniek wat die afgelope drie jaar op Patriotplein in die Paarl geleë was, het pas 'n nuwe blaadjie imgeslaan en as 'n onafhanklike Diabetes Sentrum kamers in die Paarl Mediese Sentrum betrek.

Hierdie dienste sluit in diabetesvoorligting ten opsigte van diëte, oefenprogramme, die regte gebruik van medikasie en lewenstyl-aanpassing, die verskaffing van diabetesliteratuur, inligting oor die hantering van die Glukometer en invordering van monsters vir laboratoriumontledings. Die dienste van 'n voetkundige (Podiatris) is op die laaste Maandag van elke maand beskikbaar, asook dieetkundige dienste, sielkundige dienste en voetsorg (twee maal per week).

WHEN it comes to a clean town, Eunice Kotzé of Definitely Different will definitely go the extra mile. Last year she spearheaded a clean-up campaign as part of the Year of the Volunteer. While most of the original volunteers have since drifted off, she is doggedly continuing with whatever means she can find. At the moment she has narrowed the focus to Mbekweni and some schools. About 40 volunteers from Mbekweni work once a month on a Saturday to improve their environment. Bins for recycling paper were also delivered to a number of schools and it is hoped that they will be able to generate some income from this project. Also in the pipeline is a special motivational breakfast for business leaders, as well as a project at schools in conjunction with Fairest Cape. Several businesses are already supporting the campaign with food hampers, transport and other sponsorships. People that want to help or need more information, can phone Eunice at tel 863-0397. |

DIE Paarlse Filateliste nooi belangstellende seëlversamelers na 'n ope-vergadering op Donderdagaand 12 Junie om 19:30 te Laerskool Gimnasium om hul versamelings vir oorsigtelike evaluasie te bring. Die Paarlse Filateliste bestaan reeds die afgelope 53 jaar en vergader die tweede Donderdag in elke maand, waartydens lede of genooides uitstallings van hul seëlversamelings vertoon. Besoekers sal oor vele aspekte van seëlversameling en uitstallings van raad bedien kan word en lede sal ook van hul eie versamelings uitstal vir besigtiging. Die Paarlse Filateliste, wat ook by die Filateliese Federasie van Suider-Afrika geaffilieer is, was in die verlede reeds dikwels verantwoordelik vir uitstallings van nasionale en internasionale omvang, waarvan die mees onlangse die Edelseël-uitstalling te Laborie in September 2000 was. Sulke uitstallings lok wêreldwye deelname en bied uitstallers die geleentheid om hul versamelings te vertoon. Vir meer inligting, skakel die voorsitter by 872-2379 of die sekretaris by 872-8039. |
