The Team Zodwa Project in partnership with Eatfresh:
 2015 #wool4gogo winter beanie project


This year we launched our winter beanie project #wool4gogo.  One of the unemployed grannies in our community loves to knit and does not like to sit idle. She asked if we could get donated wool for her so she can knit beanies for needy kids.  Eatfresh in Johannesburg has partnered us in this awesome project and allowed for companies and their staff to donated wool scraps and balls of wool. This is the first fruits of our project.
Linda Hanna Osh,  Vicky Sepp, Kim Williams and Bev van Zyl (Hellen White not in picture)



Our first stop was to the Charity Shop in Bella vista where we met some really special ladies. This particular shop owned by Hellen White. Her passion is to help vulnerable animals and poor families with their sick pets. Please support "Hellens Charity Shop" in Bella Vista



The charity shop is filled with hidden treasures and other peoples memories some old, some forgotten. I was so excited as I had found a butter dish that I had been looking for. I had looked all over for a reasonably priced dish, that was on the rare occasion when I actually found one. It seems no one used butter dishes anymore. So for a whole R15 00 I purchased a butter dish for my hubby!!

My friend Bev van Zyl whom I met thorough another special friend, Alta MacMaster who runs her 6 weekly Charities for change meeting, excitedly called me to say she had many bales of wool. I was to meet her here.  Then Linda Hanna Osh who assists Hellen White in her shop told me she had a factory load of scarps of lace and material that I could take for one of our soft skills projects. I was a happy girl!!
Just some of the over 100 bales of wool that Bev van Zyl donated to my project!!

In came another great mate Cheryl  Howard Hackney a fellow crazy climbing buddy. She had left for a crazy adventure climbing a mountain of snow in Uganda and one of the ladies from her office called me. They went and bought some balls of wool in stunning colours.
This is Leandra helping Claire both ladies work with Cheryl.
 
Once the bit bag of wool was dropped off my little rescue dog Odie was at hand guarding the balls. I know all he really wanted to do was attack the balls and run off with them!!

 



This is the fruit of our first load of donated wool.  Gogo made these beautiful beanies for the kiddies on one of our projects here in Johannesburg. Just love the colours and patterns she made with all the craps of wool she was given.

 




 I would like to thank the Johannesburg Eatfresh sites, especially George Binikos and Nigel Williams  for helping in the collection and facilitation of the wool for our winter beanie drive. You guys rock and I am so proud to be your Brand Ambassador

via ferrata - Magaliesberg Adventure - Urban Adventure

Magalies via ferrata, South Africa Ok, so those of you who know me know that I have a fear of heights, actually I think it is more of a fear of not been in control, something I have to be when I work as a paramedic. This is why I love adventures so much as it really takes me out of my comfort zone and throws me into a situation where I am not in control, not in charge but at the mercy of Mother Nature and the elements, something that actually both excites and terrifies me, but none the less brings me back time and time again for that thrill of the unknown. In my job if I give up or fail someone dies and in adventures often its the turning back or "giving up" that keeps you alive and allows you come come back and try again until you succeed. The real adventure is the journey while making your way to the top, if you get there and then back down in one piece to live the tale and sit around the fire place one day telling your captivated audience of little grandchildren ho...

The mountains are alive with...chocolate!

Image
  My family recently spent a week at Monk's Cowl camping site, deep in the Drakensberg mountains, and we were blessed to be able to hike every day. We have passed this little spot nestled within the 'Valley", as the locals refer to the area, a couple of times, but never went inside. Today we finally did and what a little bustling area, in the middle of the sticks, supported by both tourists and locals alike.  Beautifully wrapped up chocolate slabs in dark chocolate, milk chocolate, and white chocolate. According to the lady behind the counter, who gave us all a detailed description, the white chocolate has a hint of caramel and vanilla bourbon. I love caramel so this was an instant hit with me, and found it sweet and could definitely taste the vanilla bourbon. Next was the dark chocolate, my daughter and husband's favourite chocolate. I tried out a little and was quite surprised. Rather than the bitter aftertaste from the usual dark chocolate, it was really smooth and ...

Russian Adventure: St Basil's cathedral - Red Square

Image
copyright Kim Williams This was a dream come true to be standing in front of the this huge gingerbread house that I had wondered about my entire life. As a little girl I had dreamed and wished that I would be able to see this incredible building before I die and here I was standing in front of this incredible church.   So much myth and legend has followed this breathtaking building and its surprising that little seems to be known about this church. I found myself half expecting Hansel and Gretel to pop their heads out and offer me some tea and biscuits as I stood at the bottom and gazed up into a fantasy world.  A visual art of epic kaleidoscope proportions.  selfie in front of St Basil's cathedral It is so hard to describe what a visual impact this place has, just how huge...no colossal these buildings are, just how grand and beautifully ornate. You have to appreciate the painstaking hours, years it took to complete these buildings, a...
