KHAYELITSHA ROTARACT PARTICIPATE IN THEIR FIRST CLUB FUNDRAISER

Members of the Khayelitsha Rotaract Club participated in their first club fundraiser yesterday when they worked as marshals at the popular Colour Run in Sea Point. The club members have proven themselves to be enthusiastic go-getters and are already planning their first community project on 08 December 2018 which will be a Sports Day for local Khayelitsha schools. Newlands is very proud to be their sponsoring club!

NEWLANDS ROTARY CONTRIBUTE TO MATRIC'S BREAKFAST BOOST

We recently spotted the most wonderful story in a local newspaper and Newlands members decided to offer a small gesture of support to Wilhemina Heynes. Ms Heynes opens her home to Matric pupils in Delft on the morning of their exams to offer them a nutritious breakfast. "Last year, Wilhemina started serving breakfast to matric pupils in her area who, she says, often wrote the most important exam of their school career on an empty stomach." Corinne Hudson recently delivered a selection of breakfast goodies donated by NewRots!

FUN DAY OUT FOR BLUE DOWNS PRIMARY

Here are some pics from the Rotary Fun Morning held yesterday at Blue Downs Primary. The event was run by the EarlyActers at Blue Downs for their Grade Rs and was supported by Malibu High Interacters, Khayelitsha Rotaracters and Newlands Rotarians. Lots of fun and fellowship with line dancing, potato and spoon, obstacle races, face painting, storytelling, pin the tail on the donkey and more. The EarlyActers raised R1000 for their club funds from the sale of hot dogs. Thank you to everyone who supported this wonderful Saturday morning!

WHEELS FOR A KAROO BOY

Last year Newland's Rotary donated R5000 to help with funding for a wheelchair for Wilhelm. Wilhelm is 13 years old and lives in Fraserburg, in the Karoo. He has cerebral palsy and attends the local primary school. His wheelchair was old and not supporting his body properly. He also had limited access to school, because of the size of the buggy.
