Tuning In: Make a difference by helping

Who is responsible for the maintenance of traffic lights? Surely this crowd have noticed that the green light (both directions) at the Park Rynie traffic lights is not working? If it is the Road Traffic Department, I am sure that their vehicles have travelled this road a number of times during the past week and one would think that the drivers have noticed that there’s no green light?

Making a Difference Rescue (MAD) is based on the KZN South Coast, and although they focus on power breeds, specifically pit bulls, the organisation will assist with veterinary care, kenneling and rehoming of any dog in need that comes their way.

This of course costs money and they are constantly raising funds to pay their account at Scott Vet. Proceeds from the fund-raiser on December 1 at The Doghouse in Pennington will be paid over to Scott Vet. Feel Good Funding (NPC) will be joining this event and their main focus is on township outreach vaccination and sterilisation programmes.

They also collect food for distribution to needy communities. More information is available at www.feelgoodfunding.co.za. For more details about the fund-raiser, please contact David Hardwick at 078 7929911.

Ansie Wood has a Christmas outreach idea for female car guards and needy women on the coast.
