THE Paarl Hospice has moved into its new premises, the restored house at 109 Breda Street in central Paarl, which was opened by the Mayor of Drakenstein, Herman Bailey, on Monday evening.

Committee (HBC), consisting of Rob Koch, Dr Ati van der Leek and Kaufie Kaufman. They approached Len Raymond to make the front door. On visiting the site he found many interesting features and provided valuable advice on the restoration. As a result, the Drakenstein Heritage Foundation (DHF) became involved and helped where they could, also with a donation of R10 000 towards the project. The Paarl 300 Foundation also took a keen interest through Dr Elzet Albertyn and saw this as a Community Project, donating R100 000. This generous donation injected renewed vigour into the activities of all involved. Investigations have revealed that the house was originally built only in Breda Street, with the wing along Swartvlei street having been added later. The original sash windows had external shutters and there was a small gable over the front door which has been restored according to the style of others in the area. During restoration the steel window frames were removed and replaced with sash windows. There was a length of "broekie lace" along the ridge of the roof of which a few parts remained. They have been taken down and used for moulds, so that the whole length can be re-installed. The Hospice staff are excited and enthusiastic about the move to the spacious new building. Hospice is unanimous in its praise for the people and businesses of Paarl (and further afield) for their generosity. More than fifty individuals and companies have given their time, donated materials and even did sub-contract work, free of charge. A kind donor donated all the new roof sheets for the project. A plaque is going to be installed in the building, listing all those who went the extra mile to make this such a worthwhile and successful project. |

BAIE moeders word gedwing om die pot aan die kook te hou deur te werk. Daarom lê die Franschhoek Belgiese Trust hom toe daarop om bewaarskole te ondersteun sodat die moeders van jong kinders die geleentheid het om te werk. Hulle ondersteun die bewaarskole Kabouterland en Khanyisa op die dorp, wat uit hul nate bars, maar nogtans finansiële probleme het weens die koste van maaltydverskaffing aan die kleuters. Die Groot Drakenstein gevangenis dra by deur elke week gratis groente te verskaf, terwyl die Trust in ruil daarvoor verf en ander kunsmateriaal aan die gevangenes verskaf. Daar word nou aansoek gedoen vir 'n voedselsubsidie van die Departement Welsyn. Daar word ook saamgewerk met Sasko oor die verskaffing van vitamienverrykte muffins wat moontlik by 'n nuwe bakkery in Groendal gebak sal word. Die Trust gaan uitbreidings aan die Kabouterland bewaarskool borg met 'n skenking uit België en borg ook reeds toerusting en meubels by die bewaarskole. Mense wat bydraes wil maak, kan vir Salwen Constable kontak by 083-231-3030 of Rosy Caleni by 082-937-0018. |

THE first week of August is World Breastfeeding Week. Human milk is the optimal food for any human baby, and provides antibodies and growth factors for healthy development. This year we are also remembering orphans who traditionally have no access to breast milk, let alone the other comforts given by a loving mother. Many new mothers find that one of their problems in the early days is having too much milk, until eventually the "demand-and-supply" system of suckling and milk production settles down. Women who have extra breast milk can collect and donate this milk to other babies through the iThemba Lethu Human Milk Bank. iThemba Lethu Human Milk Bank, using donated human milk for Aids orphans, was started in Durban. The concept has spread to the Western Cape, and the first orphanage-based human milk bank is about to open in Khayelitsha. If donated milk is pasteurised (ie warmed at around 60 degrees for 30 minutes) then any viruses that might be present in the milk are killed. "We are always looking for more donor mothers, since babies should be fed exclusively on human milk for the first six months of life, with solid foods being introduced slowly thereafter," says Jacquie Nutt of Wellington, International Board-Certified Lactation Consultant, and one of the driving forces behind the Milk Bank. "This makes the demand for human milk on-going and increasing. Many of the donor mothers have said how good they feel to be able to contribute something to the huge escalating crisis of Aids orphans. "It is a simple but satisfying process to donate breast milk, and one spin off is that our organisation can provide breastfeeding support and information to our donor mothers to help them with their own babies. "Any quantity of milk is useful - our motto is 'Every drop counts'." For further information on expressing and storing human milk, or to make a donation to the Milk Bank, please contact Jacquie on tel/fax 873-0004, or email preciousmilk@mweb.co.za. There is a milk collection depot in Wellington, as well as in various areas of Cape Town. |

DIE stroom hawelose mense word al meer en dikwels is die Haven Skuiling in die Paarl die enigste heenkome vir dié ontredderde mense. Die Haven het in 1995 sy deure oopgemaak met 40 beddens en in 1997 is dié kapasiteit verdubbel. Met die steeds groeiende werkloosheid en armoede het hulle die nood besef en vroeër vanjaar het hulle begin met aanbouings vir nog sowat dertig beddens. Dié aanbouings nader nou vinnig voltooiing en Nick le Roux, bestuurder van die Haven, is nie min trots op wat hulle vermag het nie. "Elke steen in hierdie gebou is op ons perseel gemaak deur ons eie mense - en dit alles binne vier maande!" Maar nou moet die nuwe gebou en kamers uitgerus word en "die geldkoffers is leeg". Die skuiling doen 'n beroep op die publiek om te help met beddens, tafels, stoele, beddegoed, eetgerei, handdoeke, waslappe en dies meer. "Kerke, skole en diensorganisasies wat moontlik bereid is om 'n kamer 'aan te neem', is meer as welkom," sê hy. Mense wat wil help of meer inligting soek, kan Nick of Bessie le Roux skakel by 862-1812. * The public has been invited to sponsor rooms at The Haven shelter. |
