The opening of the Khayelitsha Child Friendly Facility marks the 5th of its kind in the Western Cape. This was opened on the 29th March after nearly a year of planning, negotiations and construction. We would like to thank Col Harri at the WC Provincial office for all her assistance and then the sponsorship of Rotary Claremont and Shellard Media - who made this possible. 
Just a short note to thank you for your kind donation of R10 000 to Matla A Bana - A voice against child abuse. Your contribution will go towards helping one of the many children who reports crimes against them to the police. Last year our projects reached more than 13 800 of these children.
On 17 March MAB will be celebrating Human RIghts Day with a fun event to be hosted at Cool Runnings in Cape Town. Over a 1000 tickets will be given away the next few weeks in exchange for a comfort pack item. Then there is also the Corporate Challege - The RIGHT Place, where companies can dress according to their most important RIGHT. The best team can win fantastic prizes. Radio Tygerberg is the media partner and will also do a live broadcast at the event. Get your entry forms on our website http://www.matlaabana.co.za/.
The teddy bears that was donated to Parow Court by Chester House was used to give to rape victims at a Christmas party hosted by the court in December. The rest of the bears will be given to children during the court process. Thanx a mil once again Chester House for the wonderful donation!
Thank you to Frank Ohlsen and his TTV Fluval Group of companies who has donated R60000 towards Matla A Bana again this year!
The KFM Ground Patrol paid a visit to MAB WC office today playing early Father Christmas. The team delivered boxes full of gifts for abused children. Although we were very happy to see the team, we realised that these gifts were going to be given to children who will be abused during a time when other people will celebrate. Thnx KFM and Ground Patrol for your support!
The MAB AGM 2011 was hosted on 6 Dec 2011 in Gauteng. There was a lot of tears and great joy when many of our sponsors received their Certificates of Recognition. After a drop of more than 200% of donor funding, we have still managed to achieve many great successes! We would like to thank all our adoptive churches, sponsors and volunteers for your support. Also a special word of thanks to Rooi Rose editor, Martie Pansegrouw, for many wise words! See you all again next year!
