THE Amanzimtoti Women’s Institute (AWI) recently awarded certificates of recognition at their monthly meeting to two women for their community contribution.
AWI president Belinda Thole said they recognised the contribution made by the two women in the community as part of celebrating Women’s Day. “Denise Ashburner and Carol Lane are both instrumental in assisting with the weekly Wednesday meals at Jabulani – The Kingsburgh Welfare Organisation for the Aged,” she said.

Denise was invited to be the guest speaker on the day. Belinda said, “It was uplifting to hear how her efforts and those of Carol, along with many other people in our community, assist with the provision of food items for these meals.”
A certificate was presented to Denise, and Carol’s certificate was accepted by her mother, Barbara Lane, on her behalf. All the women were then treated to delicious birthday cake by Barbara, who is celebrating her 90th birthday later this month.
