WANTED WORKING/GOOD CONDITION HOUSEHOLD GOODS AND CLOTHING: We’re collecting goods to sell at a jumble sale in to raise funds for the CRA Dalmatian Rescue Centre, as well as other animal shelters who receive no government funding and are battling to keep their doors open. CRA Dalmatian Rescue Centre have had a sudden influx of dogs from well-off owners who do not even offer a bag of food, never mind a financial donation to look after their abandoned and often sick dogs. “Patches” was dumped at the centre because she ran too fast for her jogging owner. “Maxine” was brought to the centre because the owner didn’t feel like taking her to Cape Town. Knowing she was sick, he promised to pay for all the vet bills as he didn’t have time to deal with it....6 months later, a R10,000 vet bill which the centre is battling to pay, and no sign of the “heartbroken” owner. There are 25 dogs who all have similar sad stories at this centre. If you have old curtains, linen, bedding, clothing, crockery/cutlery, old working/non-working computers or laptops, working small appliances – anything that will sell easily at a jumble sale, please drop the goods off at 1597 High Street, Highgate Village, Dainfern - we will put them to fabulous use for these animals.

VOLUNTEERS NEEDED ON MONDAY AND TUESDAY MORNINGS Edu Fun is a local non-profit organisation (NPO) that runs a variety of projects supporting Diepsloot Combined School. We are always looking for more volunteers to help with our various projects. Activities include teaching English to Grade 3 (9-10 yrs) and Grade 4 children (10-11 yrs), mending school uniforms, and helping with our health project.

On Monday and Tuesday mornings we meet outside Piatto’s Dainfern in The Valley Shopping Centre on Broadacres Drive and carpool to Diepsloot.

PROJECT PRINCESS Project Princess is a fabulous initiative which was recently started up in Johannesburg by local entrepreneur, Ms Georgie Colling who has teamed up locally with a couple of ladies including resident, Sue Harwood. Project Princess has expanded to Pietermaritzburg and early 2012, to Cape Town.

The objective is to provide 80 matriculants (many child-parents) from the Ikageng Foundation, , and the opportunity to attend their matric dance, dressed up as the Princess they’ve always dreamed of. To date, Project Princess Jhb has collected over 200 dresses for the 80 Ikageng girls to choose from. They attend Orlando West High, Phensi Secondary School or Dr Beyers Naude School in Dube and will represent their school for their 2012 Matric dance.

Please dig into your wardrobe for that wedding dress/matric dress/bridesmaid’s outfit that you (or your daughter) will NEVER wear again! Where necessary, dresses will be altered to fit each young lady for their magical big night. We are also collecting jewellery, smart shoes and bags. Please also consider donating suits, tuxedos, ties and smart lounge shirts or shoes that your husband/sons no longer wear, to kit out the Princes on their special night!

We would also welcome contributions to turn the Ikageng offices into a "Boutique" atmosphere – i.e. dress rails, coat hangers, full length mirrors, draping, refreshments, jewellery and shoe stands. This is your chance to make a BIG difference to someone¹s life! This is an ongoing project and will continue throughout the years to bring joy to matriculants (who could otherwise not afford to dress up) on an annual basis.

If you live in the Dainfern/Johannesburg area and wish to contribute, please contact Georgie Colling on 083 267 0913 to arrange for delivery or collection.
