Wednesday-Gender -Heavens Shelter House needs your help!

Today it is a Wednesday that means we spoke all things related to gender issue. On today's show we we joined in studio by Crystal Delport from Heaven Helping Hands they are lending a had to the Heavens Shelter House which is based in Mitchells Plain.

Heavens Helping Hands is a group of students from CPUT(Cape Peninsula  University of Technology in cape town, this project is to arrange an event linked in with 16 days of activism against violence and abuse against women and children. Crystal being on of the students elaborated on why they choose to help this specific shelter. After the research that they did about all the different shelter we have in cape town they observed that the Heavens Shelter House cares for abused and abandoned women and children. They also identified that the shelter is in dire need of assistance and their biggest need as the moment is to raise at least R20 000.00 towards their long over due water account. She adds that their plan is to build a hygienic sandpit for the children to play in,various internal maintenance like fixing showers , wall and floor tiles and other necessary things in the shelter. They will be hosting a Outreach Day , the idea behind this day is to give these kids and women a day filled with laughter that every child and women deserves. This event is unfortunately not open for the public;for the residents in the shelter . However if you would like to help contribute to making this day extra special for them then you are more than welcome to contact Crystal on 021 483 6945.

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.

Winter having an effect on Bloodstocks

The Western Cape Blood Service (WCBS) is appealing to all donors to donate blood as blood stocks are critically low. “The winter is having a severe effect on our bloodstocks and we are amidst a severe blood stock shortage”, says Marike Carli, Public Relations Manager at WCBS. There is a critical shortage in the O and B blood groups, with only a 2-day supply left. The A-positive blood stocks are also under severe pressure as only a 3-day supply is left. WCBS always aim to have a blood stock level of 5 days.
