I’m still trying to get over last night! Come as you like they said, if it wasn’t obvious we were visitors it was when we walked in! All said it was a great evening and just another reason why Rotary should be proud to have clubs and the members which it does. I’m still also trying to get over the fact they think Alan is my father and I think he is as well!
This morning we are visiting Gozololo (easy for you to say). We have a couple of other meetings and we need to get Debbie a laptop. Breakfast finished. Talk later.
What a day, weather has changed. Amazing really can go from hot to cold so quickly. I was so impressed with Gozololo. A proper community project run by the community for the community. They are doing some amazing things. They have secured a massive donation from Spar and receive a lot of food. They have a preschool, after school clubs and support multiple care givers. What’s also amazing is there are another two centres just like this in just the same positions in the community.
What I also like is their volunteers are also from the community. In return they receive a food parcel but I do not believe that’s there motivation for helping. Although like every charity Gozololo would and could do with more support which takes away a certain amount of uncertainty and offers increased security and allows them to keep doing the important parts. Unfortunately one dictates the other. Gozololo survives mainly on SA donations which in my opinion is an incredible feat and just goes to show its there you just need to find it!
