Lifts and ride-shares from Victoria Park

Dear Neighbors,

I recently go a job- which is great!!! However it has an impact on our families daily routine, as I will no longer be able to take my kids and fetch them from school etc.

So I started to look for solutions. I believe that others might be in similar situations. My husband, for example is traveling to Cape Town for work on the bike.

I found a following connection:

Kim is taking her kids and has some extra place in her car for more kids to Hendrik Louw primary from Victoaria Park. Please contact me to obtain Kims number, if you need assistance with H Louw transport at a reasonable price.

Please let me know of other transport options from Victoria park, so we can have a ride-share and lift clubs helping each other:)

Neighbourhood watch control room & useful numbers

CONTROL ROOM

The new NW Radio control room is running very well thanks to the hard work and donations of dedicated community members as well as our kind sponsors.

Please Note: The NW Control can contact all the emergency services and have a dedicated Neighbourhood Watch response vehicle. The SW Neighbourhood Watch is supported by several security companies & ambulance services, including Secure Rite, AM/TSU, Gordon’s Bay Security, ER24, EMO and SSS Emergency Services. They all signed a Code of Conduct and will work together with the NW to make Somerset West a safer place for us all. This means that should an incident happen there are 8 or more vehicles that can respond! I salute these companies, as well as SAPS, who have decided to work together with the Somerset West NW. Unfortunately, to date, HCW/VS (Helderberg Crime Watch) has chosen to work independently but will still assist NW Neighbourhood Watch and patrollers where necessary..

USEFUL CONTACTS:

•Illegal dumping of garden waste - contact the Green Scorpions (Environmental Management Inspectors). It is always good to attach a photograph and registration number. 0800 205 005. http://www.greenscorpions.com/

•Illegal dumping of building material or other waste: Call Law Enforcement on 021 596 1999 or 021 842 3222 / 021 900 4028

Happy paintings to raise funds for Cancer support

This is a follow up project from "Horse painting for cancer support" - I would like to have it as an ongoing project. Don't You think that would be awesome!?

Large horse 3,
Acrylic boxed canvas, 91x76cm,
R3000

The paintings that can be seen on this page are the ones, that are available for purchase through the project. From every sold painting I would donate 50% of sales price to CANSA - The Cancer Association of South Africa (http://www.cansa.org.za/).

Why cancer support?

Since my family has been battling the cancer, I hear more and more people fighting or fought cancer- everyone knows someone that has cancer!? This clearly is a big issue in today- if we work together we can make a difference. Donating to cancer cause is my choice, if You would like to donate from a purchased painting to a different charity, please let me know :) I donate through http://www.givengain.com/. Info on previous project & donations.

Why call these "Happy paintings"?

1. Painting them made me happy,

2. they hopefully will make the person purchasing the painting happy and

3. the donated funds will make whole lot of people dealing with cancer happier

Just thought its a nice reason to call them "happy paintings":)

Proof of previous donations
