Hi everyone,
Arthur and I will be doing a 15Km walk on 6th Sept to raise funds for our Rotary Club's projects which include really needy schools and homeless shelters, both of which are really suffering under the current financial circumstances. You can find out more about them on our club blog http://rotaryjoburgnewdawn.blogspot.com/
Donating through this site is simple, fast and totally secure. It is also the most efficient way to donate. Your contribution to this page will benefit the charity listed on the left.
Please donate generously.
Many thanks for your support.
Regards,
Don & Arthur
PS: The pic is not really us. It's Tziki & Mini-me Bonny travelling in Argentina.

Rotary Johannesburg New Dawn |
The Rotary Club of Johannesburg New Dawn is supporting local charities involved with Health, homelessness, job-creation and education. Beneficiaries include the Rosebank Shelter, Nkosi Neighbourhood Foundation, Headway and Baragwanath hospital. http://rotaryjoburgnewdawn.blogspot.com/ MERCY SHELTERS FOR HOMELESS PEOPLE MERCY SHELTERS FOR HOMELESS PEOPLE provide safe, hygienic transitional accommodation to some 220 people nightly. These homeless men and women are given breakfast and dinner daily at an approximate cost of R10 per day for the meal. An additional 250 who cannot be accommodated due to a lack of space receive a cooked mid-morning meal daily.
The Mercy Shelters provide 3 homeless shelters in Johannesburg and also provide 500 families in Soweto with nutritional support packages twice a month.
The Shelters not only provide desperately needed short-term help to the homeless, but also equip them with vital assistance to enable them to become independent in the form of skills training in basic computer literacy, sewing, beading, knitting and pattern drafting. The Shelters also provide a social worker for counseling.
