The Artists 4 Artists Auction is back and bigger than ever. This year, we’re bringing you a stunning art exhibition and online auction – all in support of young creative talent in the Winelands region.

There have been many highlights in the year to date, including our participation in the Act4Impact campaign to promote Rotary at the Waterfront in Cape Town.
Almost 2000 cyclists entered for the Rhodes Quality Winelands Cycle Race, presented annually by the Rotary Club of Paarl in preparation for the Cape Town Cycle Tour.            Pic: PicSieb
Fighting cataract blindness
Paarl Rotary has launched a project to reduce cataract blindness. In South Africa, 250 000 older people suffer from this affliction in which the lens of the eye hardens and obscures sight. The deterioration is exacerbated by our harsh sunlight. Rotary Club of Paarl brought in a Belgian medical team that on a voluntary basis over five days operated on nearly 100 financially needy persons from the rural area of Vredendal. The patients could not be helped previously due to limited government resources and many of them had gone completely blind.
