It was so wonderful to join forces with this worthy NPO to raffle off one of my fine art wildlife prints last month. I want to extend a heart-felt THANK YOU to each and every person that purchased a raffle ticket and shared the initiative.
I am beyond thrilled to announce that the raffle raised over R3000!!!
Congrats to the lucky winner, Susan Bellis!
Shortly after sharing Maddison's story and this raffle, I was approached by a dear friend to join the outreach team at Essentially Natural. Apart from their wide variety of natural, locally sourced products, this small business really takes carbon neutrality seriously. They have also just launched their One Percent Movement, an outreach program that vows to donate 1% of their monthly turnover to worthy non-profit organisations.
It has already been a really rewarding and humbling experience, especially since the Helderberg AWS was one of our first Outreach Partners. My role in all this good started thanks to Maddison, and it makes me feel like there is a reason for her sad demise...
I encourage you to follow our work on our website, Facebook or Instagram. Even better, join the movement!!! Every 1%, no matter how small, can make a difference!
So... Here's to a lot more GIVING BACK!
Meet Juanita Berry, the angel-in-charge at the Essentially Natural Outreach Team. Oh, and Scrumptious, the ginger queen of the Helderberg AWS cattery. I took these adorable photos on our recent visit to the kennels in Gordon's Bay.
