bedelary word gemeld op die plakkaat. Die Provinsie Wes Kaap het 'n omvattende maatskaplike toelae sisteem

en baie professionele en gespesialeseerde organisasies wat hierdie mense help. Help u die bedelaars asseblief

deur hul nie te ondersteun nie.

die probleem van bedelary aan te spreek. Daar is 12 kinders se name op die "probleem" lys. Die naamlys is

opgedeel en aan die vrywilligers gegee om huisbesoek te gaan doen. Elke kind se ouerhuis word besoek tot 20

November en verslae word ingedien van die omstandighede waarin die kinders hul bevind. Indien dit nodig is,

sal die besoeke herhaal word. Terugvoer van die besoeke en aksie wat daarop sal volg, sal by die volgende

6. GLENWOOD PRIVAAT SKOOL IN GEORGE SE BYDRAE TOT

CALITZDORP DROOM PROJEK

43 Leerlinge en 8 onderwysers van Glenwood privaat skool in George, het hul jaarlikse 18 dag Karoo

Challenge aangepak en op 14 November 2012 op hul 4de dag in Calitzdorp gestop soos gewoonlik. Hier is

hulle gretig om by die NG kerk in te gaan om na 'n orrel uitvoering van Dr Noël Jean Creil te luister. Moira

Strauss en Erina Meiring het hul welkom geheet en vergesel.

Rudigar Roman, hoofleier van Calitzdorp Hoërskool, het hierdie

kunstig geverfde asdrom ontvang van Glenwood privaat skool as hul bydrae tot ons Calitzdorp Droom Projek. Een

van die skool se eie dromme is

gebruik sodat almal kan herinner word aan die geoie band tussen die twee

skole. Calitzdorp Hoërskool bied elke jaar hul steun aan Glenwood tydens

hul jaarlikse Glenwood Karoo Challenge. Baie goeie bande is

gesmee tussen die twee skole. Vroeg in die nuwe jaar gaan hul met mekaar meeding in rugby, skaak en nog vele meer. Ons sien uit daarna om in die

toekoms met meer dorpe vriendskapsbande te sluit.

Die Glenwood span hersien hul

fietse voordat hul die pad vat na

Calitzdorp Spa.

Maggie, die pootuit gelukbringer

van Glenwood, het die Glenwood

span al die pad skelm gevolg uit die

Hel uit. Die span het dit eers

opgemerk toe hul alreeds in

Seweweekspoort trek. Maggie

moet nou maar die volle 18 dae

saamtoer. Sy doen dit natuurlik

sonder enige aanmoediging, want

as die eerste voertuig se sleutel

draai, sit sal al opgewonde en

uitkyk by die venster!

Glenwood vertrek na Calitzdorp

Spa. Ons sien baie uit na die

volgende ontmoeting.

4. CHILDREN ON THE STREET

As before, we attach a poster to put up at your business to encourage the public not to give money to beggars

and children on the streets. This action is supported by the ACVV and the disadvantages of begging mentioned

on the poster. The Western Cape has a comprehensive social grant system and many professional and

specialised organisations to help. Please help our children by not supporting them with money or food.

On the 6th

of October 2012, 7 local volunteers met with Ruth and Gaimorian of the ACVV to discuss the

begging problem in town. There are 12 names of children on the "problem" list. The list was divided between

the volunteers to visit the homes of the children. Reports of each visit will be handed in at the ACVV to

determine the circumstances they live in. Visits will be repeated if necessary. Feedback on the visits and

actions that will follow will be discussed at the next ACVV meeting on the 21st of November.

8. MARKET AT OLD STATION – 10 NOVEMBER 2012

The market at the Old Station is growing every month. This time the Dream Project sold cuttings to raise funds

for big trees for the town; we've made enough profit to buy three big trees.

The next market will take place on 8 December at the Old Station; it will be the Christmas market as well.

9. GLENWOOD PRIVATE SCHOOL IN GEORGE CONTRIBUTING TO

CALITZDORP DREAM PROJECT

43 Learners and 8 teachers from Glenwood private school in George tackled their yearly 18 days Karoo

Challenge and on 14 November 2012 on their 4th

day they stopped in Calitzdorp as usual. Here they are eager

to enter the DR Church to listen to the organ recitals done by Dr Noël Jean Creil. Moira Strauss and Erina

Meiring welcomed and accompanied them.

Rudigar Roman, head leader of Calitzdorp High School received this artistically painted bin from Glenwood private school as their contribution to our Calitzdorp Dream Project. One of the school's own bins has been used

as a reminder of the good bond between the two schools. Calitzdorp High School gives their support every year to Glenwood during their yearly Glenwood Karoo Challenge. Many

good bonds have been made between the two schools. Early in the new year they will compete against each other in rugby, chess and much more. We are

looking forward to bond with more towns in the future.

The Glenwood team review their

bikes before they leave for

Calitzdorp Spa.

Maggie, the exhausted lucky charm

of Glenwood, secretly followed

them from the Hel. The team only

noticed it when they were in

Seweweekspoort. Maggie must

now travel with them the whole 18

days. She does it without any

encouragement of course, because

as soon as the first vehicle's key

turns she already sits with great

anticipation looking out the

window!

Spa. We are looking forward to the

next meeting.
