Day 18- Project Day in Inchanga 1000 Hills
Rotary Inchanga 1000 Hills is involved in a great number of AIDS related projects, but one that is near and dear to their hearts is the 1000 Hills Community Helpers, http://www.1000hch.charishealth.co.za/about.html. 1000 Hills Community Helpers is sponsored in part by Rotary, as well as having a staff member who is actually a Rotarian herself. At present they are building a large community centre which will have a daycare and aftercare centre for children, a health clinic, a chapel/meeting area, infirmary for sick children, and well as overall resource centre for the surrounding area. It is a huge undertaking, but all involved are committed to their community and the people in it. HIV/AIDS has so greatly affected and infected people in this area, and it is impossible to ignore the impact it is having on the children and the very make up of families. We got to see the buildings being constructed, and look forward to seeing the finished product in March. For more information please check the link above.
In the evening we were once again treated to a lovely braai put on by the local Rotarians. Inchanga 1000 Hills meets at "Arthur's" at the Camelot Country club, and we would like to send a personal thank you to the owners for their personal donation to the AIDS Hike fund!
