10 September 2013 : Planting a Vegetable Garden
This month's activity involved us clearing an old patch of ground behind House No. 4 and planting a vegetable garden. After talking to Josina - the House Mother, we decided to plant lots of spinach and tomato plants. We then planted seeds of green beans, pumpkins and carrots. A rosemary herb bush was trimmed and left in the middle of the patch.

10 August 2013 : Mexican Fundraiser
The SOS Committee worked
very hard to put on an amazing Mexican Music Fiesta Fundraiser. The music was
provided by our very own band, the 'White Corollas'.
A great evening was had by all and we raised enough money to provide House 4 with a brand new washing machine and stove, among other things.

A lot of planning and work went into the major fund raising event of the year. There were a lot of activities and events planned for the SOS Mamelodi Village over the coming year and they all needed cash in one form or another. Supporters of the cause did not disappoint and a magnificent day was had by all.

27 March 2013 : SOS Awards
A few of the ladies were
fortunate enough to attend an awards ceremony for the House Mothers of SOS. These
are the ladies that care for all of the children in the SOS Village and are the
heart of the organization.
We were treated by performances by the “grannies”, who are elders in the village of Mamelodi who come to share their time to nurture and care for these children and provide an extended family of sorts. Some of the talented children of SOS provided music and singing for all of us to enjoy.
