Hi there all Bloem 'mites

We are leaving for Kids in Parks on Friday, 13 October and will have a bit of space if anybody has a delivery for Jannie from Bloemfontein.

Thanks so much and enjoy your 2 weeks of Kids in Parks - please send my regards to Henriette, Bassier, Toya and whoever else is there

The last few weeks we have received over 9 bags of clothing, it was decided that we would distribute the clothes in Botswana as they have been asking for a while if we could assist them.

Here are some pictures.




This young girl saw the dress and she immediately put it on and walked around with it the whole day.










Thanks again for all your support in this worthy cause in helping others.

Well done Jannie, Vanessa, Gill and your gang for all the good work you are doing..........that little girl in her dress really touched my heart!!

Same here, Crested Val.

very impressed with all the work done and the happy faces

Thanks so much Jannie - awesome to see how amazingly the Clothing Drive has grown and how many people we are able to help

Thank you to EVERYONE who donates - it really is much appreciated by all ..

Thanks Jannie and everyone involved.

Hi all
Just had a request from the Tourism Manager at Twee Rivieren - he had a call from the Pastor of Klein Mier Church, a community outside KTP - they are really having a hard time at the moment and apparently there is a huge need for clothing for this community - all kinds, kids as well as for adults ... If you are going up to KTP in the near future PLEASE would you consider going through your cupboards and seeing if there is anything you can take up for the church to distribute to those who need it most. Almost anything will be useful - towels, bedding etc ... It would be great if we could help this community just before Christmas ..... Thanks a mill !

Thank you so much for the response regarding the MIER community requesting clothing. Scouter for giving up your time to get things done THANK YOU.

I have over the 12 bags of clothes which we will sort out now and go and dilever at Klein Mier. AGAIN if it wasnt for you guys it would never happen, you surely are making a difference in peoples lifes.

THANKS

Dear All,

Kgalagadi has surely been blessed the last few years with the receiving of clothes for the 'Clothing Drive' and so many people has reaped the benefits from it and we take our hats off to you guys who have donated and assisted in getting the clothes to the park you will never know how much we appreciate it.

Due to the recent floods in Kruger National Park and our fellow colleagues which have some lost everything they had, we have thought of donating the bags of clothes which have been received the last month or so.

I do hope we receive your blessing in doing so to 'Pay it Forward ' to those in Kruger.

Thanks so much

Jannie (KG)

AWSOME!!

Well done KTP

Absolutely ! Wonderful idea Jannie and you know I love the "pay it forward" concept
I will be bringing up more bags of clothing from friends when I come up for the cricket ...

Dear forumites

SANParks have put new procedures in place with regard to donations, projects and fund raising in the parks.

There is a national process in place to register all projects and wish lists that will be channelled through the normal SANParks channels to Honorary Rangers.

Honorary Rangers, the GM : Fundraising and the CE are the only structure/individuals who are mandated to handle fundraising and/or donations within SANParks.

This project is one that is being placed on the required wish list, and it has been agreed between the park management and the VHRs that the project will continue to run on these forums under the umbrella of the VHRs.

We are very grateful to Scouter who is prepared to manage the project on, and for, the forums, working with the VHRs - thank you Scouter

We ask that you support her with the required info she will need (listed below) to make her work as easy as possible.

Scouter will work closely with the park and bring to the forums the needs for this project, and we ask that you continue to support them in the same generous and enthusiastic manner you have been all along.

If you choose to donate to the project please do the following:

1. Please email Scouter scouterktp@gmail.com, Jannie jan.kriel@sanparks.org and myself (VHR rep) VirtualHRs@gmail.com of your intention, and what you are donating.
2. Scouter will confirm with Jannie receipt of your donation.
3. If you wish to remain anonymous and not have your donation listed on the forums, please indicate this in your first email and your wishes will be respected.
4. Cash donations must be paid into the SANParks Honorary Rangers central account. Details can be obtained from Scouter.

Does this apply to clothing as well?

I am going to KTP in just over 3 weeks and intend taking some clothing along with me.
