Rand Park aids in survivor bags

RANDPARK RIDGE – From firefighting, to snow-topped mountains Kim has done it all in the name of charity.

Rand Park Primary School pupils help victims of abuse and violence by collecting items for survivor bags.
Kim Williams was invited by the school to talk to the pupils about her adventures, which she participates in, in aid of charity.
Williams has done almost everything from climbing Mount Kilimanjaro to crossing the inhospitable deserts around the world. She does this to raise funds for various charities such as the CHOC Foundation.
In her work, she serves the City as a Joburg EMS first responder. “I think it was my exposure to the extreme poverty that I was able to see the effects it has on children who cannot access or receive medical attention or the help they need,” she added.
Williams spoke to the children about her recent trip to Russia where she and a team summited Mount Elbrus, the highest mountain in the country. The pupils were captivated by her tales of snowy peaks, blue ice walks and deathly blizzards, all in the name of fundraising for CHOC.
Rand Park pupils and their parents collected a variety of items, from toiletries to sanitary items, sweets and cold drinks and, of course, a CHOC teddy bear. These packs are used by organisations to help a child in need. “I believe in an adventure with a purpose; there are so many wonderful and cheap things one can do in our beautiful country that can benefit those in need,” said Williams.
Rand Park Grade 7 teacher, Beverley Bell was the brainchild behind the project. “We asked parents and children to donate things like toothbrushes or soap, which we handed over to Kim, who will ensure they go to good use,” concluded Bell.

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...
