Greenstone warms up the community
The Greenstone winter drive has come to an end. Thank you to all the customers who so generously donated blankets, non-perishable foods as well as clothing to the centre’ s annual drive. The purpose of the drive is to bring awareness to people who need help especially during the winter months as the cold nights can be brutal. The initiative also brings the Greenstone and surrounding community together in a common goal and that is to help those in our neighbourhood.
The items were donated to the The Khanyisa trust; a daily soup kitchen in Edenvale. The kitchen and is supported by other churches as well as various corporate companies in the area. They serve two meals a day to 180-200 people and also facilitate the administration of the employment service and Khanyisa training projects. The home was identified by the marketing team who visited during the annual winter lunch provided at the Methodist Church hall where the evident need for more assistance was seen.

Afternoon event in Modderfontein
On Friday, August 25, Friends of Modderfontein Library will be hosting Robert Capper, a historian and well-loved speaker who has addressed the Friends group several times in the past. Robert is a historian who specialises in English Tudor history and his descriptions of the lives and loves of Tudor Queens have been very entertaining. This will be the fifth talk in his series and members of the public who have attended previous events will not want to miss this one.
This event will take place 1:30pm in the Thornhill Estate Community Centre in Modderfontein. Cost is R20 per person and refreshments will be served. Members of the local community are welcome to attend. For more information, contact modderfriends @ gmail. com.

St Andrews news
Using the Shakespeare’ s comedy A Midsummer Night’ s Dream as a spring board, the St Andrew’ s School for Girls senior drama students told a South African story that is relatable to all, Midsummer Mzanzi. There were lots of laughs throughout the rehearsal process however, there were moments of seriousness where the cast and crew would discuss current issues and how we can make our country a better place for all.
The # 44daysagaintsracism movement which commenced on June 15 aims to raise awareness about racism and other forms of discrimination in our country. St Andrew’ s School for Girls has taken the initiative to be a part of this campaign. As integrity, grace and community are core values of our school community, a few grade 12s of 2017 hosted a quiet sit-in, in solidarity with fellow South African youths, as means to reflect on the future of our country and what it means to be a South African.
