Churches Hammanskraal Brits Additional Information 2 | Page www.experiencemission.org KwaMhlanga 1. The Harvest Field KwaMhlanga is situated approximately 60km northeast of Pretoria (app. 90 minute drive from OR Tambo International Airport), located in the Thembisile and Mkobola Municipal areas of the Nganakala District in the Mpumalanga Province of South Africa, which is in the wider area of the former homeland of KwaNdebele people that settled there in the early 18th century. KwaNdebele was a Bantustan in South Africa, intended by the apartheid government as a semi- independent homeland for the Ndebele people. The homeland was created when the South African government purchased nineteen white-owned farms and installed a government. The homeland was granted self rule in April 1981. Siyabuswa was designated as its capital, but in 1986 the capital was relocated to KwaMhlanga. Since then KwaMhlanga developed into the administrative centre for the local government and now houses the government administration for the North Western Region of the Mpumalanga Province. a. The Environment Living conditions in most cases are desperate. Housing is comprised of tin and wooden shacks, mud huts and brick/cement houses with corrugated iron roofs. The land is not very fertile, rocky, dry and dusty. This is an area of mostly rolling hills filled with abundant birdlife, reptiles and a host of many other kinds of wild animals. As far as basic services are concerned, 80% of the people do not have hygienic toilets; 90% have no refuse removal; 20% have no piped water; less than 40% have access to electricity for cooking and 90% have no phones. The climate is either in the wet season or the dry season. January-March is summer and temperatures reach the 90 degree Fahrenheit range, April-June is considered the fall, July-September is the winter and temperatures drop to near freezing and October-December is the spring. The rainy season is during the spring and summer months while the extremely dry fall and winter months result in a drought that leaves the community in search of drinking water. b. The People The wider KwaMhlanga area has a population of 500,000 people and is the former homeland of the Ndebele people. The Ndebele has been identified as one of the Nguni Tribes. The Nguni Tribes represent nearly two thirds of the South African black population: The Zulu-speaking people, the Xhosa-speaking people, the Swazi people from Swaziland and the Ndebele. The Ndebele shares KwaMhlanga as home with a mix of other tribes, e.g. Zulu, Venda, Xhosa, Tsonga, etc. 3 | Page www.experiencemission.org c. The Domains of Society i. Health Many definitions have been given to the HIV/AIDS giant over the years. Among many definitions it has been described as a pandemic, a war against mankind, the worst crisis the world has ever seen, etc. Whatever it is called, we know that whole nations are at risk. It has become clear that in countries and communities where the pandemic is rampant and in places that are still to be impacted by the disease HIV/AIDS is not only a major health problem, but also a major economic and social problem due to the integrated nature of the African worldview. In these countries every part of life is being affected by the pandemic; economies are being crippled, poverty and public disorder is rising, governments are struggling and hopelessness and despair are creeping in. According to the United Nations, South Africa has more HIV/AIDS cases than any other country in the world. Mpumalanga Province has the second highest percentage of death related to HIV/AIDS in South Africa with 40.7% Also in KwaMhlanga HIV/AIDS is one of the biggest challenges faced by the community. Local hospitals and clinics estimate that 50% of the more than 500,000 people living in the area are infected by the disease. The area has a high prevalence of AIDS orphans and child headed households, the heads of which range between 10 and 19 years old. 63% of the community is under the age of 24 and 50% of the community consists of children under the age of 18. Health facilities in the area range from average to poor and are generally understaffed. The one and only hospital in the area (KwaMhlanga Hospital) has 153 beds, is sub-standard and only provides limited services. Besides the hospital there are clinics are also operating in the area: • Moloto Clinic • Tweefontein H Clinic • Verona Clinic • Vlaklaagte 2 Clinic These clinics are understaffed and need more and better equipment, medicines and emergency services. The Nakelela palliative care centre, which is operated by the Nakelela Christian Community Association, addresses Christian based care to adults living with HIV/AIDS in the KwaMhlanga area. 4 | Page www.experiencemission.org ii. Education Lack of education is a major challenge in the communities of KwaMhlanga. 20% of the population has no schooling; only 8% have completed Grade 12 of which 2% continued with tertiary education. The schools in the rural communities often struggle to find qualified teachers. Many children are homeless and do not attend school. iii. Income & Employment KwaMhlanga can be classified as a semi-rural area with most of its income being derived by people commuting between KwaMhlanga and close by urban centres like Pretoria. None the less the employment rate in the area is high and it’s estimated that 70-80% of the economic active population falls outside the formal economy. As a result poverty is endemic in the community, with many people living under destitute conditions. 27% of the population is economically active; 43% earn less than $130 per month which is considered living below the poverty line. Only 24% earn more than $260 per month which means that 76% of the population earns less than $260 per month 2. The Harvest Force a. Orphan and Vulnerable Children (OVC) Day Care Centers i. Background The project addresses Christian based holistic care and development of Orphans and Vulnerable Children (OVC) and their families in the KwaMhlanga area. Services are delivered through a number of OVC day care centres situated in various villages throughout KwaMhlanga. These projects are dependent on the financial support of various lacal and international corporate, private and church bases donors. ii. OVC Centres Five OVC care centres have been established and are already running successfully for a number of years in the following villages: • Vezubuhle - Opened February 2004 • Phumula - Opened April 2005 • Sun City - Opened January 2006 • Thembalethu - Opened July 2006 • Manaleni – Opened July 2007 5 | Page www.experiencemission.org iii.

  • Chessington World of Adventures Guide
    Chessington World of Adventures Guide Overview One of three theme parks located in Greater London that are operated by Merlin Entertainments Group, Chessington World of Adventures combines a host of rides and shows with a world-class zoo. Whereas nearby LEGOLAND Windsor is aimed at families with kids aged 2-12, and Thorpe Park caters for teens and young adults, Chessington offers something for just about every age group. In addition to the theme park and zoo, the site is also home to the Holiday Inn Chessington, a safari-themed hotel that overlooks the Wanyama Village & Reserve area. History The origins of Chessington World of Adventures can be traced back to 1931, when a new zoo was established in the grounds of a fourteenth century country mansion by entrepreneur Reginald Goddard. The zoo was eventually acquired by the Pearsons Group in 1978, which subsequently merged with the Madame Tussauds chain to form The Tussauds Group. The newly-formed company embarked on an ambitious £12 million project to build a theme park on the site, and Chessington World of Adventures opened to the public in 1987.

  • ACE's Scandinavian Sojourn
    ACE’s Scandinavian Sojourn : A Southerner’s Perspective Story by: Richard Bostic, assisted by Ronny Cook When I went on the ACEspana trip back in 2009, it was by far one of the most amazing vacations I have ever experienced. In addition to getting to visit parks in a different culture than we see here, it is also a great opportunity to spend time with fellow enthusiasts and grow friendships while enjoying our common interests. When Scandinavia Sojourn was announced for the summer of 2011, I knew it was a trip I could not miss. Since the 2009 trip was my first trip to Europe I thought that there was no way the over- all experience could be better in Scandinavia. I was wrong. We landed in Helsinki, Finland around 1300 the day before we were required to be at the hotel to meet with the group. Helsinki is an interesting city and fairly new compared to many cities in Europe. Walking around the city you can see the Russian influence in the city’s architecture. In fact, many movies during the cold war would use Helsinki to shoot scenes that are supposed to be set in the Soviet Union. After making our way to the Crowne Plaza Hotel and getting a quick lunch at the hotel restaurant we decided to spend the remaining time that afternoon checking out some of the sites around our hotel. Some of these sites included the Temppeliaukio Church inside of a rock formation, the train station, Routatientori Square and National Theater, and a couple of the city’s art museums.

  • 98-186 Roller Coasters: Background and Design Spring 2015 Week 5 Notes
    98-186 Roller Coasters: Background and Design Spring 2015 Week 5 Notes Early Major Manufacturers Manufacturers NOTE: As a reminder, I would like you to know about Arrow Dynamics, Schwarzkopf, Vekoma, and Custom Coasters Int. (CCI) for this class, but other manufacturers are presented so you are aware of them. Arrow Dynamics (often shortened to Arrow) Founded in 1946 by WWII vets Karl Bacon and Ed Morgan. Originally a small company making merry-go-rounds and other minor attractions for local amusement parks They were contracted by Disneyland in 1953 to build many of Disneyland’s trademark rides, most of which were quite different than what else was around at the time Disney was pleased with their rides and continued to hire them for many years. This resulted in Arrow’s development of the modern steel roller coaster for the Matterhorn Bobsleds During the 60s, they didn’t do much coaster-wise, but worked towards developing the log flume, a roller coaster-esque water ride where riders sit inline in log themed boats and navigate a trough of water, culminating in a major drop and splashdown In the mid-1970s, they picked back up in the roller coaster market with the development of the modern inversion, securing their position as the dominant steel coaster manufacturer in the US o Their coasters were in high demand at this time. During the 70s / 80s, pretty much every major park had an Arrow coaster, if not multiple Arrow coasters One of Arrow’s major trait was of being innovators in the industry, often being the first to create a certain style of ride o They invented the suspended coaster, a style of coaster where the cars hang beneath the track rather than ride on top, and the cars can swing freely from side to side (unlike inverted coasters).

  • Rides History Rides History SCENIC RAILWAY
    Rides History Rides History SCENIC RAILWAY DESCRIPTION: The Scenic Railway is a wooden double out‐and‐back roller coaster. It was built at Dreamland in 1919/1920 and opened to the public in 1920. It is the oldest roller coaster in the UK and one of only eight scenic railways in the world. It is also the only roller coaster in the UK to receive listed status; being Grade II* - listed in 2002. A fire destroyed approximately 25% of the ride, including the station, lift hill and cars, in April 2008. Rides History HURRICANE JETS DESCRIPTION: The Hurricane Jets is a ride of the 1950’s, and one in which the riders can control the elevation of the cars by operation of a joystick. Supplied by the Lang Wheels Co. of Hillingdon, Middlesex, these were a popular ride at many parks, including Dreamland, although the one which has been acquired has spent its life touring with travelling fairs. Rides History 4‐ABREAST GALLOPING HORSES DESCRIPTION: Following the introduction of steam power onto the fairgrounds in the 1860s, it became possible to build much larger and more elaborate rides. Prior to this hanging dobby sets had been popular, but the natural progression was to a galloping horse. In 1885 Savages built their first Platform Gallopers for John Murphy from Tyneside. The same year Messrs Reynolds and King designed the overhead crank system which was improved upon the following year by Tidmans of Norwich. By the end of the century Crank – action Gallopers were being supplied by several British engineers, and as a ride has remained popular to this day.
