Wilmed Park Oncology is the only Cancer treatment facility in the Northwest Province and Northern Free State.
All patients from this large district are referred to the oncology unit in Klerksdorp for their chemo and radiation treatment. Because radiation is administered over a period of around 6 weeks, it is very costly, and patients are forced to remain in Klerksdorp for the duration of their treatment.
A few are able to find accommodation with friends of the oncology unit but many are forced to make temporary home in expensive guest houses.
We are delighted to announce that the Cancer Association of SA (Cansa) has agreed in principle to run and administer an Interim Home in Klerksdorp for these patients, and also patients who need to have treatment at the Provincial Hospital in Klerksdorp.
Cansa already received a donation in the form of undeveloped stands in Klerksdorp, and now needs to develop it for an Interim Home.
Wilmed Park Oncology and Pick ‘n Pay Hypermarket set a target of R50 000 by releasing 5000 balloons at the Klerksdorp Pick ‘n Pay Hypermarket in Wilkoppies on the 27th of November 2004. The idea behind this project is not only raising much needed funds for building this Interim Home with Cansa, but also to give people the chance to release a past hurt or traumatic experience that is keeping them from moving forward in healing. You can even salute life for today, or someone you Love!
Inserting messages into the balloons and releasing them will be a strong symbolic process whereby people can free themselves from past traumatic experiences.
Buy a balloon, insert a positive message and contribute to helping other not so fortunate people!
Balloons are sold for R10 each, and can be bought at Pick ‘n Pay Hypermarket on Saturday 27 November 2004 at the doors, or everyday from 6 September 2004 at Wilmed Park Oncology.
This will be a fun filled event with entertainment!
People that are interested in taking part in the festivities, or if you would like to make a donation towards this worthy cause, can contact Charmaine at (018) 4681420. Further enquiries are welcome.
All proceeds will go towards CANSA and Wilmed Park Oncology will not benefit financially from this event.
Fahrenheit 9/11
One of the most controversial and provocative films of the year, Fahrenheit 9/11 is Academy Award-winning filmmaker Michael Moore's searing examination of the Bush administration's actions in the wake of the tragic events of 9/11.
With his characteristic humour and dogged commitment to uncovering the facts, Moore considers the presidency of George W. Bush and where it has led us. He looks at how - and why - Bush and his inner circle avoided pursuing the Saudi connection to 9/11, despite the fact that 15 of the 19 hijackers were Saudis and Saudi money had funded Al Qaeda. Fahrenheit 9/11 shows us a nation kept in constant fear by FBI alerts and lulled into accepting a piece of legislation, the USA Patriot Act, that infringes on basic civil rights. It is in this atmosphere of confusion, suspicion and dread that the Bush Administration makes its headlong rush towards war in Iraq. Fahrenheit 9/11 takes us inside that war to tell the stories we haven't heard, illustrating the awful human cost to U.S. soldiers and their families. |
