We were fortunate enough to receive a space at the Cape Town book fair this weekend, and have made some great connections, with potential funders as well as new volunteers. We have had lots of visitors! seen here with Kathryn and Maurita are Diane Kerswill, our link from our Claremont Centre, and Leigh-Anne Nathan, one of our links from Zonnebloem. Kerry White, our office manager has been key in setting up and running the stand. We have had visits from Timon from the Times Book section, From Sindiwe Magona,the author, and Helen Leiberman, the founder member of Ikamva Labantu. Jeff Jones, a key volunteer who has helped us set up our school libraries came and visited. In addition, we have seen our local Government WCED circuit manager, Vanessa, and Ms Govender, a WCED official. Dusty Holloway, one of our volunteers at Zonnebloem came to keep me company this evening, and Josie Boraine, photographer, who is a donor (and one of our official Shine photographers), swung by to say hello. Monday has been an enjoyable and very worthwhile day! In addition, we had Rosemary and friends from the Soroptimist's society, Karen from Real Gap Experience and several young Shine fans come to say hello.
