#DainfernCares
The golf clubhouse transformed into a disco straight out of 1986 on Saturday, July 13th, as the #DainfernCares hosted its ’80s Party in aid of its Mandela Day project.
Around 100 partygoers donned spandex, shoulder pads, neon gloves, and side- ponies as they danced their 67 minutes in honour of Tata Madiba. All proceeds from the event were donated towards purchasing and distributing sanitary items to schoolgirls in disadvantaged communities. So far, over R10,000 has been collected for the cause.
In South Africa, at least 7 million girls stay home for a week every month because they cannot afford sanitary items. The DHA understands the impact this statistic has on the future of women in South Africa. The DHA would like to thank each person who donated their time, money, and dance moves to make a difference in the lives of hundreds of schoolgirls.
We also appreciate and recognise the many residents in Dainfern who support Mandela Day through their own projects.
The #DainfernCares morning coffees will continue until the end of July, with Century21 sponsoring Tuesday coffee. This together with Best Deck’s sponsorship, means coffee is now available throughout the week. Our thanks also go to the Fidelity staff who assist with the early morning setup.
Ongoing Projects
Ongoing projects include the installation of gabions, clubhouse solar carports, Gateside paving remediation, and repairs to identified roads, which will commence shortly. We are also happy to report that the flooring at the SIX33 playground has been completed, the installation included additional shock pads at high-risk areas such as the jumping castle in compliance with recommended standards. The installation of the fence at the parking lot area also provides an additional level of assurance to parents, acting as a barrier between the play area and the parking lot.
