9. Sponsors, Supporters, Friends of HOPE Cape Town
Dr Susanne Reuther resigned as Board member and Trustee in November 2011. Dr Reuther served
as a Board member and Trustee for many years and she has also been a private sponsor for ARV
treatment. We thank her for her dedication and all her support work over these years.
Dr Duisberg resigned from HOPE Cape Town Association and HOPE Cape Town Trust in November
2011. He supported HOPE Cape Town Association as a board member and HOPE Cape Town Trust as
a Trustee. We will miss his business and financial skills and thank him for his support and dedication
over the years.
Another big thank you goes to the German actress Veronica Ferres who has published a book in
German and she included the project HOPE Cape Town in that book. Furthermore she sponsored the
post for our medical officer for three years. Thank you very much!
We would like to thank Dr Sadeeka Williams for her excellent work as Medical Officer at HOPE Cape
Town. She left the employ of HOPE Cape Town Association in December 2011 after two-and-a-half
years of service, to start her specialization as a paediatrician soon. She was a very special personnel
member who not only focussed on the medical treatment of her patients but also spent time
assessing and addressing the psycho-social circumstances of each child and family with rare
dedication. We wish her well in her medical career.
At the end of September 2011 after three years of working for HOPE Cape Town, our dedicated
colleague Yasmin Smith and her family went back to Germany. Our heartfelt thank you goes to her
for her excellent work. It has been a great pleasure to work with you!
Another big thank you goes to Dr Heide, Dr Uleer, Elli Keller and the whole team of the German Aids
Foundation (DAS). You have once again funded several positions at HOPE Cape Town such as two
Community Health Workers, our Head of Program, our Director as well as our Outreach Facilitator,
and facilitated the sponsorship of two HCHW through the province of North Rhine-Westphalia.
These key positions enable HOPE Cape Town to be what it is and your contribution makes you a big
part of our project. Thank you!
A big thank also you goes to the Richard Wagner Society chaired by Mr Herbert Glöckner for
donating the proceeds from the staging of “The Flying Dutchman” at the Cape Town Opera earlier
this year to HOPE Cape Town for the resistance test project. For this project we received another
donation from the German cabaret “Die Krähen” from Krefeld, a special thank you goes to the
cabaret team and Laura Fiebig.
So many individuals have made a difference through their voluntary work, monetary support or
donations in kind and it is almost impossible to name them all. To name but a few, our sincere
thanks go to Mr Eberhard Kohlberg and the Neumayer Station, for their huge donations in kind every
year.
And not to forget: all Trustees of the HOPE Cape Town Trust, who do not only watch over our
financial affairs but have become increasingly involved as mentors and advisors for HOPE Cape
Town, whenever the need arises. We welcome Viola Klein, Dr Dirk Brand and Prof Detlev Geiss as
Trustees.
A sincere and heartfelt THANK YOU to the following donors:
