Royal Family Kids – It Takes a Village

It takes a village to raise a child but the nano building blocks of a community is the family unit. For neglected, molested and abused children the village and sea of faces and places might be all they know but the tender care of a family unit is unknown to them. Jackson’s Ridge Royal Family Kids, with their roots in America, has penetrated the hearts of social workers in South Africa to help change the perceptions of these shadow children.

 

Nestled outside Magalies a five day camp was waiting for 36 hand selected children out of Krugersdorp. A huge luxury bus from Pro Tours collected the children on 13 July and the 53 strong police cleared, trained volunteers, cheered the kids unto the camping grounds.

 

Some of the volunteers were from America, some living on the property and others are from Mogale. They were all there with one goal. They wanted to plant seeds of joy, peace and love in the heart of these children.

Royal Family Kids creates the family unit by having in place grandparents, parents, councilors, kitchen staff (very important for hungry tummies) the postman, art and crafts and outdoor activities specialists.

These children get a peek into what the family structure can be and should be like. The ultimate goal is for these kids to model their lives after this example when they start their own family one day.

Every morning kicked off with glorious breakfast followed by the sound of adoration and worship to our Creator God. The rest of the day was spent encouraging and nursing the children with kindness in a variety of activities and live entertainment. Came nightfall, with their tummies bursting, the last thing they did was again to sing the praises of God almighty.

 

We would like to thank all the sponsors and donators and the volunteering staff for making this week possible.

Tammy makes coasters after stroke.

I met a wonderful woman at Môreglans this morning. Only when you start talking to her do you discover her quiet intelligence and deep love for God. Tammy has been a school teacher and at sixty she still have lots to give to society. Her recovery has been nothing short of miraculous and she gives all the glory to God, says Tammy.

Since we were not too many at the workshop, we decided to make a set of four coasters. When that was completed, we tackled four more. Even though Tammy could not do all the functions, the hope is with regular exercise, her moto neuron abilities will kick in and she may perform greater tasks with her left arm.

Tammy is a role model and inspiration to me.

It was a pleasure having been with you all once again.

 

Love,

Go Green with wall art

 

The Sign Industry is responsible for huge amounts of waste material that cannot be recycled.

Vinyl has a limited shelve live. In place of throwing the vinyl stocks away, it can still be used for indoor wall art.

Applied directly to wall surfaces it creates exiting messages sought after by teenagers which can be easily removed.

 

Ask your sign company about this.

 

Regards,

Tienke

A surprize rocks the Coaster Workshop at Robert Palk Centre

This workshop brought with it a lovely surprise. Instead of the elderly just receiving their usual DIY Coaster workshop, they also learned about Unique Skin, a natural skin remedy which was developed by Phillip Perch. Phillip is a young family man with bright eyes and deep creasing dimples when he smiles.

 

Phillip took his captive audience to the exact spot where his will gave birth to this miracle ointment and then up to a place where he had everybody in stitches with his honest sense of humor. The question and answer session was a breeze as it was evident Phillip knows his product.

With great love he handed out a bottle of Unique Skin to each senior citizen in attendance. In light of this free gift, Sign Therapy based their workshop task by duplicating the participant’s exposure to the name of his product.

We duplicated the normal colour input and each layer had to be applied in a certain order and placed in puzzle format to make up the completed artwork.

 

This workshop was fun & informative and we would like to extend a big thank you to Ria van Rensburg who gave us this opportunity to be of service to the elderly.

Sign Therapy’s long term goal is to run workshops from 09h00 – 11h00 every second Thursday of the month at the Robert Palk boardroom. Please register with Ria if you would like to attend our next workshop. There might just be another surprise!

 

We would like to thank our sponsors –Maizey Plastics, Industrial Pressings, La Reynette Centre and Unique Skin from Health Today for their donation to our senior citizens.

 

 

Regards

KUIER IS LEKKER BY DIE OUES VAN DAE

Bejaardes maak hulle eie coasters

 

Sign Therapy het geboorte gegee aan die ‘Do-it Yourself Coaster’ projek. Klein stukkies waardelose glas en viniel (afval produk van die reklame industrie) word omskep in ‘n bruikbare produk.Die ‘arts en crafts’ werkswinkel verskaf hope genot aan die deelnemers.

Die projek maak ook seker dat ons bejaardes ‘n pragtige persoonlike eind produk het wat elke dag in die huis gebruik kan word of as geskenk aan die kinders gegee kan word. Coasters beskerm ons waardevolle oppervlaktes in die huis en in die kantoor.

 

Ons maak ‘n beroep op ander oue tehuise om ons te skakel as hulle gebruik wil maak van ons werkswinkels. Te danke aan donateurs soos Industrial Pressings, PNA Keywest, Maizey Plastics, Nail Care, Breet Glas en The Web Bug word hierdie klasse kosteloos aangebied. Indien daar enige ander ouetehuise is wat gebruik wil maak van hierdie klasse kan julle ons gerus skakel op 072 282 7831 of stuur vir ons ‘n e-pos na info@signtherapy.co.za en ons sal julle kontak.

 

‘n Baie groot dankie aan Dehlia en Minnie wat dit moontlik gemaak het vir hierdie deur om na ons oues van dae oop te laat gaan. ‘n Baie groot dankie aan Golden Age Village en Memorial Woonstel inwoners wat ons laat voel het dat ons werklik iets waardevols gedoen het.

Golden Age Village glass coaster workshop:

Golden Age Village glass coaster workshop:

 

We are excited about Sign Therapy’s first application activity. The elderly at Golden Age Village will be taught how to use an ordinary sign product such as vinyl and transform a little throw away piece of glass into a beautiful coaster.

 

Sign Therapy’s vision is to regularly visit old age homes and entertain the residents with hours of signage fun. The sign industry, in essence, makes use of stickers to transform blank canvasses into mighty tools of communication.

This method of transferring objects from one substrate to another is wonderful for the enhancement of hand eye co-ordination whilst in a complete state of relaxation.

 

Just what our elderly need. More rest and more fun.

 

If you would like to participate, please give me a ring on 072 282 7831.

Louw Venter besoek Verswakte Sorgsentrum

Louw Venter besoek Verswakte Sorgsentrum

 

Wanneer Louw Venter vir jou kyk kan jy die waarheid vlak in sy oë sien. ‘n Man wat diep insig in die mens het. Dieselfde insig wat ek in sy ma gevind het en wat in sy ouma, Bee Louw, ‘n pasient by La Reynette Centre van geweef is.

Louw Venter is nie verniet so geliefd as ‘n karakter akteur in flieks soos Semi-Soet  en The Last Tango nie want karakter is wat hy het. Dit vloei deur hom soos bloed deur die are.

Sy vinnige draai hier in Krugersdorp vanaf sy tuiste in die Kaap het ons almal laat smag na meer. Louw, jy is pragtig en wees verseker dit is ons plesier om agter jou ouma Bee te kyk. Ouma Bee het daardie spesiale gawe om jou tien voet lank te laat voel net omdat jy jou werk doen deur haar te versorg. Die seëninge vloei deur haar mond en mens voel hoe dit jou tref sonder ophou.

 

Julle is ‘n spesiale familie met ‘n moedertjie wat net nooit ophou gee nie. Dieselfde gawe is aan julle oorgedra en bruis deur julle woorde. Ons waardeer julle teenwoordigheid in ons lewens.

 

Louw Venter is ook nou te siene op die Kassie in die reeks Swartwater.
