Head of marketing at the association Nadia Sands said, “Our annual Women’s Day event has always been well-attended and enjoyed by the wonderful women in our communities. We wanted to continue offering this fun and informative celebration and didn’t let Covid-19 stop us.”
The webinar closes off International Assistant Dog Week, which runs from 2 to 8 August.”We are sharing a whole bunch of amazing and informative stories of these life-changing companions and are ending it off by celebrating the amazing women who make use of an assistant dog.”
Sands added that although this was a Women’s Day event, the whole family was invited to join.Tickets cost R50 and include a 25 per cent site-wide discount for Estée Lauder for the weekend of Women’s Day.
Attendees will also receive some delicious recipes for biscuits (for both humans and dogs) compliments of Pick n Pay and their Fresh Living magazine. Participants will also stand a chance to win a R5 000 Estée Lauder hamper.Some of the guest speakers will include disability rights campaigner and motivational speaker Dr Amit Patel, who has written a book titled Kika & Me, which is about how an extraordinary guide dog changed his life.
Other speakers will include Lois Strachan from Cape Town, author of A Different Way of Seeing, and Pretoria-based Tersia van der Westhuizen, author of Sheba, about a dog.
Sands said, “The restrictions of the pandemic has caused a major loss in the income that we could have generated through our events. By supporting our initiative, you are helping us raise much-needed funds. Also, it’s fun and informative.”
