OVERSEAS visitors treated elderly residents and disabled children at Natal Settlers Homes last week. Representatives from Food for Thought UK, Al Imdaad Foundation UK and Al Imdaad Foundation SA visited the home on Thursday and served the elderly at Coronation House a cooked breakfast and handed out goodie bags to the disabled children at the home. The organisations have also pledged eight JoJo water tanks for the property in Umbilo. Shamim Patel from Food for Thought said the organisation was started in the UK to provide hot meals to those in need. The organisation is independently run and is funded by the public and receives support from the Al Imdaad Foundation UK. "Charity begins at home. We have worked in the UK for fi ve years. For our fi fth anniversary we decided to expand out of the UK and were informed by the Al Imdaad Foundation of the great need in South Africa in relation to water, hygiene and social support in homes such as Natal Settlers," she said. Shamim is an occupational therapist by occupation and said the visit to the children at the home was an eye opener. She said she would love to get involved to help with their therapy and to support the children. "The visit has been an eye opening experience. I feel we can learn a lot from each other. I hope to get a few programmes together for the home to try implement change, and with the support of the Al Imdaad Foundation SA and UK we will try make a difference, no matter how small," she said. Abdussamad Mulla from Al Imdaad Foundation UK said the organisation started in South Africa 15 years ago and had a branch in the UK for the past eight years. The organisation is involved in disaster relief and does work in 75 countries. He said along with the support to Natal Settlers Homes and the donation of water tanks, a few feeding programmes were held in Escourt and a borehole was built in a rural community struggling to obtain clean water. "In working together there is no limit to what we can do in striving to serve the community," said Abed Karim from the Al Imdaad Foundation An overjoyed Nkosingiphile Ndimande receives a goodie bag from Shamim Patel from Food for Thought.

LARGE bugs which appear to be eating away the trunks of trees in the Bulwer area have raised safety concerns, says Heather Rorick from the Bulwer Safety and Urban Regeneration Forum (BSURF). Rorick said she fi rst became aware of the problem in December when the BSURF was planning its Christmas project which called for local schools to decorate trees in Helen Joseph Road. "There was blue cloth around the one tree and when we removed it to prepare for the tree decorating project, we discovered a number of large bugs which appeared from holes in the tree," she said. Rhino Beetles are eating away at a tree in Helen Joseph Road. Rorick said since then she had noticed the bugs still living mushrooms on the trunk. Once in the tree and had witnessed ...this could be the tree starts rotting, the bug, them eating away at the trunk. what is weakening the Rhino Beetle, comes in "The bugs eat their way into and kills the inner side of the the tree rapidly.
