The Hangberg PreschoolSince 2014 our Signature Project is the Hangberg Preschool in Hout Bay. Inspired and founded by Tania Gray and Marquerithe Schreuder this project has become reality and opened the doors in October 2016 for about 120 kids. Together with our German Partner Rotary Clubs Neuss, Germering, Landshut-Trausnitz and Eggenfelden-Pfarrkirchen, we were able to support this project by building this new school from scratch. The colourful wooden construction offers about 500 sqm room in an eco-friendly environment and over 400 sqm open playground that perfectly meets the children's needs in a safe environment. Enjoy this video about the school! More information of this project may be found under www.hangbergeducationaltrust.org . |
Sea Point HighRotary Am Kap has been actively supporting the Sea Point High School for a number of years. We initially financed the building of a kitchen which could provide a hot meal to those children leaving home early without breakfast. When the Interact Club at the school seemed to be floundering we took on the challenge and for the last 4 years have been assisting the members of the Sea Point High Interact Club with their activities. They have raised funds by selling self-cooked meals and muffins to their fellow students and were able to collect a great pile of Easter Eggs to distribute to a children’s foster home.
The school also has a thriving debating club and this has also been a pleasure to support and enable the Debating Team to travel to other schools and compete in local and regional debating competitions. They have won a number of prizesJ Working closely with these youngsters we are able to identify and fund candidates for RYLA Camps and the annual Adventure into Citizenship program. |
Unser alljährliches GartenfestUnser größter alljährlicher Fundraiser ist unser Gartenfest, welches wir in den letzten Jahren immer wieder im kapstädtischen Sommer in der Residenz des deutschen Botschafter feiern durften. Bei Sonnenschein konnten wir bereits mehrere hundert Besucher und Freunde unsere Klubs willkommen heissen und zusammen ein wunderschönen Tag geniessen. Verschiedene Bands sorgen für eine tolle Stimmung - und für das leibliche Wohl mit Bratwurst und selbstgebackenem Kuchen ist ebenfalls gesorgt! Für Kinder haben wir immer eine Attraktion zum Spielen und das Highlight sind sicherlich die tollen Preise in unserer Tombola sowie den Versteigerungen. Mit Ihrer Hilfe können wir durch alle Erlöse unsere Projekte weiter unterstützen und somit unserem Ziel, speziell Kindern hier in Kapstadt eine schulische Ausbildung zu ermöglichen, wieder ein Stück näher zu kommen. VIELEN DANK & bis zum nächsten Jahr - Ihr Rotary Club am Kap! |
