Showing off their new uniforms!
They can't hide their joy!
Thanks to a donations from the Blouberg Rotary Club, the 10 Home Base Carers have been kitted out with smart new uniforms. This includes warm jackets for the winter and comfortable shoes. When asked they said they were proud to be wearing their new uniforms and feel very smart.
Taking bags of recycling and swopping them for tokens.
Wow! How the Swop Shop has grown!
This week we took approximately 800 bags of recycling! The community of Du Noon are really embracing this project and seeing the benefits of recycling.
The children, women and a few men patiently waited for their tokens and a chance to buy some essential items from the swop shop.
This month Elkanah House ran a clothing drive on all 3 of their campuses and we received a huge amount of bags of clothes and shoes from them. Thank you to the organisers and parents.
On the last Saturday of every month, Elkanah High hosts a Schoolyard market, where one may stroll around and peruse various stalls while munching on the delicious food on sale.
This was the second time we had a stall there and it proved to be great success! It was a wonderful opportunity to chat to people about Beyond Education and raise awareness about our Swop Shop in Du Noon.
We had all our different school, sanitary and food packs displayed and invited people to contribute towards them. In exchange, we handed out home-made cupcakes which were well received!
The fundraising went exceptionally well, and so we are now able to better stock the Swop Shop with essential items and stationary, which is great news for all our kids who visit the shop on a weekly basis.
If you haven’t yet visited the Elkanah Market, you’ve missed out. So come down this month and check it out! And while you’re there, find our stall and come and chat, donate a couple of bucks and get a cupcake.
As we like to say, it’s a win win situation.

The generous donation from the Elkanah Recycling Committee
Elkanah Recycling Committee, Colleen and Eldri visited us today and donated over 20 blankets, 40 boxes of soya mince, 40 bags of samp and lots of tooth paste, tooth brushes and soap. Whow! Thank you so much. Your support has been incredible. Elkanah Recycling Committee also pick up our recycling and transport it down to the High School on Wednesday morning. Thank you again.
Thank you once again to Pick n Pay Table View for the rolls and fruit that we handed out to all those that brought Recycling.
Our amazing volunteers Sanazu, Kim and Sarah were there helping the kids and making peanut butter sandwiches! Ladies, we couldn’t do it without you.
