Snowdrift
Siberians:
Andre and Natalie van der Merwe founded Snowdrift
Siberians in 1994 have been involved with this
magical breed ever since. We breed, sled and
show our Siberian Huskies. We firmly believe
that this amazing breed needs to be more than
just show dogs, they need to be able to perform
their original function in harness as well. That
way, we can ensure that their legendary sledding
history is one that is carried forward to future
generations. Snowdrift has been mushing recreationally
since 1995.

Miniature Blue Train:
Riding the Blue Train is a fun activity for children from one year old and up. Have a little trip on Cape Town's only miniature train with a view of the sea, passing ships and Robben Island. You can also spend quality time in the safe park, playing on a jungle gym and other play items. Group bookings for rides are available. This is also a great place to celebrate a birthday. Tickets are R8 a ride. Proceeds generate funds for the Rotary Club of Sea Point's projects, so this is not only fun, but good causes benefit as well. The train operates from 9am until sunset, weather permitting.

For A Dream:
On July 7, 1988, the Reach For A Dream Foundation

for his birthday.
The Foundation fulfils the
dreams of children of all income groups and of
any race, colour or creed between the ages of
3 and 18 years who have been diagnosed with a

The
Children’s Hospital Trust:
The Children’s Hospital Trust is the fundraising
arm of the Red Cross War Memorial Children’s
Hospital. 100% of the money we raise goes towards
purchasing the most up-to-date medical equipment,
to the ongoing building and refurbishment of the
Hospital, as well as to supporting educational
programmes at the Hospital. Built in 1956, the
Red Cross War Memorial Children’s Hospital
urgently needs funds to upgrade the 50 year old

Social
Responsibility: |
We
at Uncover the Cape are acutely aware of how fortunate
we are to live and work in the best part of the
best country in the world! However, we are also
aware of the sad fact that there are people here
in the Cape who have for some reason fallen between
the cracks, as it were and therefore cannot enjoy
the abundant activities our magnificent Province
has to offer. |
We also believe it is our duty as privileged inhabitants
of Cape Town to do whatever we can to help those
less fortunate and thus hopefully help change
their lives and fortunes in such a way they too
can participate in the awesome bounty we have
been blessed with here in our beautiful Cape.
We have identified two groups of disadvantaged
inhabitants of our City which we wish to focus
our Social Responsibility Program on:
The first is our young people: Street children,
orphans without support, the abandoned and the
abused. We know that under the right circumstances,
these children can live productive, happy lives
and consequently make a valid, positive contribution
to our Province and our Country. They are our
hope for the future.
The other group we wish to support are the old,
the infirm, and the neglected senior citizens
who have absolutely nobody to turn to in their
time of need and misery. These people have often
made a positive contribution to society in some
way, but things have gone wrong, for whatever
reason, and we owe them our respect and help.
We at Uncover the Cape intend to highlight and
discuss in detail those NGO's focus on the groups
discussed and we encourage you to give of yourself,
in whatever way is possible, and thus help make
our so fortunate Cape an ever better place.
Most importantly, please do not hesitate to inform
us of any activity or structure involved with
above Social Responsibility Programs which you
consider worthy of our support.
