Cape Branch<br />
Adult Support Group<br />
At our Adult Support Group it has been all about understanding<br />
MD and its assistive devices better. Thank<br />
you very much to Ms Amber Ross (intern genetics<br />
counsellor) and Theunis Hattingh (F & H Mobility Services)<br />
for taking time out to teach us about the genetic<br />
component of muscular dystrophy and wheelchair battery<br />
maintenance. We absolutely loved learning from<br />
you.<br />
Awareness Networking<br />
There is nothing more fulfilling and educational than getting<br />
to connect with other disability focused NGOs in Cape<br />
Town. Thank you very much to our local Department of<br />
Social Services office for inviting us to spread the awareness<br />
at this incredible social networking event in Retreat.<br />
Winter Drive<br />
32<br />
The Cape Branch ran a campaign to keep our members<br />
warm in the icy cold winter weather. We are happy to report<br />
that knee blankets and knitted gloves were distributed to a<br />
number of our members. Thank you to our lovely Win van<br />
der Berg and Vanessa Jordaan for all the love and energy<br />
they poured into knitting the many pairs of gloves.
