MEDIA RELEASE!!!
Thank you People's Post for the article dated 18 March 2025, page 3, while the article has done a great job in highlighting everything we do and strive to do, give deep south kids a chance, the caption rings true, it takes a village. Some things we are directly involved in, other things we share, and things we sponsor. So let us as Hands4Change Outreach Projects put the record straight for just in case the highlighted reel of the article was not understood. Just a few rectifications on what was not mentioned and/or let's give due where due is needed and/or mentions to the organization who does the hard work behind the scenes either with us and/or on their own.
On 8th March we invited the people of Ocean View and surrounds to join in the market happening at the bottom taxi rank, Ocean View. We shared the flyer just like we have done all previous markets before, why to get feet to the market to support our Ocean View entrepreneurs. What was not mentioned as per on the flyer, the market is arranged under the umbrella Ocean View Civic Association 2024 with Joey being its chief organizer, which will be held every month going forward. It is not an initiative of Hands4Change Outreach Projects, but we are in support of it and hence share the vision and shared the flyer.

On 5 March, ECD Sports fun day, all happening on the Ocean View field. The home-based ECD’s involved was Little Warriors Playgroup with principal Nicolette Stringer, Small Adventures Educare Preschool with principal Whitney Franke, Little People Educare with principal Gail Simon, Little Footprints Daycare with principal Levern Arries, Little Rascals Educare with principal Melissa Brown. It was a successful splendid day and as the Hands4Change article on Facebook says a collective effort of all on the day and not as the Post article says we, meaning we as H4COP did it for them. The principals worked hard that day in arranging this day, and H4COP was asked to assist, which we did just that, we assisted in the tasks we had to do, but collectively, the day was a successful day for the kids of the community we serve.

On 16th March we as H4COP invited our community to go and support our local heroes, Goodies4all at the Farmers Market organized by The Sound Garden at Imhoff Farm. The idea is to support local especially an organization such as Goodies4All who supports our beneficiaries soup kitchen in Ocean View and vegetable fundraiser which is ongoing. We as H4COP was asked to get the word out which we did just that get the word out and shared.

On 15th March we invited the community to join and support Morgan Visser Music show happening at Cafe Roux On 30th April, once again this is a share of post, a courtesy, why Morgan did our show 27 February opening for Craig Lucas. We are not doing the event, as the article suggests upcoming events, we are supporting our local artist to succeed in her event, and we as H4COP will be in attendance.

Our next event, we as H4COP with our beneficiary Mary&Martha’s Kitchen will be on the 25th of April at Kommetjie Primary School, Karaoke and Old School dance, and the 28th of May at Clovelly Country Club, a 3-course dinner to raise money for kid's safe spaces all over the valley.
At the People's Post it is important to send the article to the organization before it is printed since there are a few words on the article that does not come across as the version on our socials, and/or in the organization's words. It was a copy paste article taken from different articles written by us but in doing so taken out of context and/or one word changed the concept of the articles that was initially written. The overall article was great we need help with all those things and more but let's paint the whole picture please.
Thank you, H4COP Team
