Rudy van Dieman, who has partnered with Angels South Africa, an organisation based in Colorado Park, Mitchells Plain, will summit Table Mountain 365 times in 2022, to raise funds for building a community orphanage. Angels SA wants to purchase a house that will become a safe house for children. ‘’Farieda Moses, [Founder of AngelsSA] has been a role model to me since I knew her. She took us on a camp and we stayed in contact after that ,and we done various charity work together. Just her will, and her strength that I see in her - she wants to make such a big change, but don’t have the necessary tools, so it will take years to fund her dream, and I came up with the crazy idea to give it a year and do my part to raise those funds and build that house,’’ said van Dieman.

We closed off with Athol Williams - Chairman of READ to RISE and Author of Oaky and the Sun
to tell us more about his book and his Read to Rise reading initiative. Athol
recently launched the Read to Rise programme that entails volunteers reading
and interacting with two thousand pupils in Grade 2 and grade 3 at five
different primary schools in Mitchell’s Plain. Brightly illustrated Oaky and
the Sun convey a simple message about finding one’s purpose as it explains
Oaky’s development from an acorn to an oak tree. The initiative hopes the
reading has a ripple effect on friends and family one school at a time. They
hope to reach more Mitchell’s Plain learners next year and therefore are
appealing to anyone keen on sponsoring books or volunteering to read. For
further information you can contact Read to Rise by sending an email to taryn@doinggreatthings.co.za
