O.k guys so who is coming along,lets pull together for this one in a big way please.contact me for finer details or if anything is unclear.bigchris can we count on you being there?would like to hear 3 rb sx's together!
Event starts @ 9 o'clock & should end @+- 12 o'clock. this is the 3 rd event of its kind & some off the local schools have been invited to assist.
Event should last until +- 12:30 - 13:00. There will be boerewors rolls & soft drinks on sale during the event.
We'll organise a tour of the centre for Fueltopia during or after the event.
It really is worth while watching these special people's achievements however small thay might be. I personally experience it as a huge motivator.
The centre's braai facilities (drums), hall & hall ablutions will be available to Fueltopia afterwards for a "lekker tjop & dop" afterwards.
The centre is not listed on most maps, but is right next to the "old" Daggafontain Mine in Springs.
Guys & ladies. I'm(MrMazda aka Raoul Pienaar) the current chairperson of the said centre, VNC is a centre that caters for severely mentally chalenged persons (not educable). Similar to Avril Elizabeth. We currently have 106 residents from +- 2.5 years old to 67 years of age. More than 60% of residents do not have family to support them (their fam pased away or the younger ones were abandoned)
Our annual budget exceed R4 mil & gov assistance cover +- 65%. Budget for 2011/12 shows deficit of R1.3m.
Currently we desperately require winter clothing. Old clothing of all shapes & sizes male & female are most welcome. What we can't use we sell to bolster funds.
