ABC Charity Challenge
is underway
|
| |
The ABC Charity Challenge Hike/Bike event kicked off
on Sat 22nd Oct when hikers landed at Cape Town International and bikers
landed in PE to start their respective journeys through the Cederberg and
Tsitsikamma National Park. Biking and hiking for burns, participants have
worked hard in advance of the event, and are working harder still on the
hiking and biking trails, to raise funds for the Phoenix Burns Project. The
two groups will cover almost 500kms between them, over a course of 6 days.

Sunhats for children
with facial burns
|
| |
With the weather warming up children with facial
burns require special attention and efforts to keep the sun off their heads
and faces. To maximize children's recovery and reduce the financial
pressures families face when helping a burnt child recuperate, Phoenix had
hats made up with a wider-than-average brim to give ideal coverage. These
hats are distributed free of charge at Red Cross Children's Hospital via
the Occupational Therapy Dept, and also at Burns Unit itself.

Phoenix at the Baba
Indaba
|
| |
The 2011 Cape Town Baba Indaba held at the CTICC
attracted thousands of parents and carers looking for products, info and
advice concerning their children. Invited by Childsafe to partner at the
event, along with Dept of Health: Health Promotion, Phoenix distributed
children's safety information to Mums, carers and educators eager to
know what to do in the event of an emergency. Visitors also collected
posters and pamphlets to take back their children's creches and
schools.
