Boland continues "Bodyboarders Give Back" initiative
posted on 7th March 2013
It's once again that time of year when we are getting ready to run the West Coast Classic. Last year (2012) we asked every one attending the WCC to please donate second hand clothing. We got a huge response and delivered about 20 black bags of clothes. They were handed to Bertina, who works with the local disadvantaged community. She was so happy to receive the cloths and handed them out to equally please kids and grownups.
I have contacted her again to hear what the greatest need is. She said that the fishing season for the locals was very poor and that so many are now going hungry as fishing is their primary source of income.
So this year I would really appreciate it if everyone attending the WCC or even if you would just like to help, donate non-perishable food stuff, which will then be given out in the community.
Here are some of the items mentioned:
Lentils, rice, pasta, soup mix as well as the packets of dry soup, 2min noodles, sugar, coffee, tea, cool drink (like Oros), boxes of milk, jams, peanut butter, oil, any tinned items, any cereals and any other items that will not spoil.
These items can be brought down when you come to WCC or you can contact me and I will arrange to collect the goods and take them down to Lamberts Bay.
I know I can count on all of you to make a huge effort and help the Lamberts Bay disadvantaged community.
With heartfelt thanks!
