What a fantastic weekend!
This past weekend Rotarians and Interacts had the opportunity to take 26 underprivileged children to the Rotary Resort (SWEMBE) at Badplaas. What a fantastic weekend!
The children arrived on Friday by bus and had an afternoon of games and jumping castle. After dinner, they watched Frozen and judging from the laughter, really enjoyed it.
On Saturday the children were taken to Badplaas for swimming and volley ball. The afternoon was dedicated to practicing for the concert and more jumping castle. After dinner, the children and Interacts participated in a concert. All the children performed with singing, dancing and acting. It was truly amazing. The children ended their evening with a movie.
On Sunday the children went to Badplaas after breakfast for more swimming and playing. After lunch the children had to board the bus to go back home. It was very sad to say goodbye.
"Pictures speak a thousand words" and the pictures below definitely show how great a project this is...

Without Friends of Rotary we would not be able to do all we do. Thank you Honorary Rotarian, Mrs Blackadder and daughter Logan for your support!
Having fun at Badplaas!
All the children received a goody bag with a blanket, toys and items for school.

The start of a new era in the edu container project!!!
The Edu Container partnership between the 6 Rotary clubs in Canada under the leadership of the Grand Bend Club and the Middelburg Rotary Club is about to enter a new phase. We have been advised that approximately 100 containers filled with books and educational equipment could be shipped to D9400 in the next few years. This will leave us in a position to address the immense needs and shortages in a large number of needy schools.
Our friends in Canada visited Middelburg a few months ago and have prepared a 35 minute documentary film which they are now using to gather support for our project. The film will soon be available for viewing in SA. Here is the official trailer of the film.
Please follow the link below to see the report on the premier and a 2 minute extract from the film.
Movie premiere a big success!!!!

Middelburg Care Village celebrates 10 years!!!!
The Middelburg Care Village had a function on 11 April to celebrate 10 years in the business of caring for needy children. The Village was established in 2004 by the Rotary Clubs of Middelburg, Middelburg Cycad, Witbank and Witbank Coalfields as a joint project with funds sponsored from the then Angol Coal, Ingwe and Xstrata. The evening was used as an opportunity to thank sponsors for their contributions over the past 10 years, and to share some of the successes of the Village with them.About 50 of the children presented a dance and singing performance, after which the Mayor of Middelburg, Cllr Mike Masina and Chairperson of the Board of the Village, Andre Brandmuller addressed the gathering. The evening was concluded with wonderful music by entertainer Diether Uken.
