Our latest new partner on show here and it was such a pleasure to see the happy faces.
A happy crowd and the laborers in the community garden are all unemployed people. The garden has 18 volunteer garden workers, and some community members also work here as volunteers.
They did not expect our arrival and were over the moon with the goods that we donated. Every Tuesday is harvesting day at the community garden and the public also come here to buy fresh organic vegetables. There are many unemployed people in the area and the community garden donates food to them. We received a request for clothing for the volunteers that work in the garden and fortunately Papillon also supports another non-profit called the Rape Crisis Center. Now what you may ask does the rape center have to do with the community garden?
Well, the rape center has a charity shop that the public supports by donating clothing to the shop. We contacted the CEO of the rape center for help, and we handed her a list of clothing sizes for the garden workers.
They wanted mainly T-shirts, trousers and takkies. So yesterday we went to the rape center to collect the clothing and we took it to the community garden. Oh, we were so happy, as the one bag contained new T-shirts.
But I talk too much and let's see the action.
They did not expect our visit and I took some photos of the workers in action.
A lady appeared with two watering cans and I decided to track her moves.
There was also a guy with two cans at the right hand of the photo.
Ah! Watch how the guy was watering the vegetable bed.
And then then were two watering the vegetable beds.
The water was taken from a large rain water collection tank.
Look at this rich haul of spinach at the front and cabbage behind it.
Healthy food makes for healthy minds and bodies.
They have many kinds of vegetables here at the community garden, stuff like carrots, beetroots, pumpkins, broccoli, kale and many other varieties.
Not only are the vegetables healthy, but they also ensure a much better quality of food for the hungry that do not have the money to buy vegetables.
So, we hit two birds with one stone, as we support the rape crisis center financially and also with used clothing for their charity shop. Now we also support the community garden by linking the two non-profits together and we will continue to make connections between non-profits to try to fill their needs and to source more items that are required by each non-profit.
The days of isolated little non-profits that struggle alone are gone, as the time is now, in this present day that we must live for each other. We are in the process of weaving a tapestry of non-profits together.
Together we can do so much more to help the needy in our communities.
Note: To all of the South Africans in Cape Town and to tourists that plan to come here, please pay a visit to the Community Garden in Somerset West. They really need the support.
I hope that you enjoyed the story and the pictures.
And That's All Friends.

Wow that's a beautiful community garden! I also love the interconnectedness of the groups working together. Now that's mutual aid! <3
Thank you and we also thought that it was a beautiful garden. The purpose behind the garden to employ poor people is even more beautiful. We have just started with the interconnectedness and hopefully we can also get some other groups together to perform combined services to the poor.

I need time like this one at home to teach? 🤣
very happy to have someone helping people without wanting anything in return just feeling happy for doing good 😘
Great to see that you would want it for teaching.
We can all make a difference in the lives of the poor.

It gladdens my heart to see that kindhearted people still exist. Thanks for reaching them out. surely, your labor is not in vain. 💪
We only do what we can and we are focused on those that really struggle in life. Especially the women and children. Our labor comes from the heart and it is unconditional. It is also great to promote others that care like the management of the Community Garden 😊

WOW what a project and the blooming in that garden is fantastic!
We (myself and our company https://towncriermarketing.ca work with the local community food center https://thelocalcfc.org/ (Recently brushed up their webpage) and there is a community garden in town and it is such a wonderful thing.
I have always loved your work and your blog. So glad to return and find you still raising money on the blockchain for people to help change their lives!
Thanks for popping in Zeke and lady third from the left in the first photo deserves all of the laurels, as she is doing fantastic work with that community garden. We are only the supporters and I am trying to promote the great work that they do.
Ah! So you are into the same gardening thing and it is always a worthy cause. Glad that you are involved, as it shows your heart. I wish so many others would also jump in and do something to improve the lives of others.
Thank you and the money will start to do its work soon, as I am not getting any younger and time waits for no one.

Oh yes, we call it dignity restoration and the volunteers get token, that they can hand in at a shelter in order to take a shower and a bed for the night. The community garden is a perfect idea and it is very well managed. We will continue to support them.
Thank you for the tipu.

Linking two together makes sense, using vacant land to grow food assists many more wishing to improve their lifestyle, a golden opportunity.

All that we are doing is that we are trying to help everybody Lady Joan. That's why I am promoting them here, so that they could also possibly get help from elsewhere.

Good evening Hannes,
If we can't do it alone, then we combine with others and Papillon plays a supporting role. We do this under our "Distribution Project" and it is always so great to see the smiles of those that we help. We have delivered tons of goods over the years and now we aim on doing the same over here. Of course, the non profits that we support also need the help and it makes us happy to support their work.
Thank you and the aim is to make everybody involved happy.
Blessings to you guys.
Good evening Zac,
I used to belong to the people who prefer to work alone and never ask for help, but that has changed in the past years and now I often appreciate the help of others. On the other hand, my colleagues know that I'm always there for help.
By the way, I think I haven't said anything about your new profile image yet - I like it a lot and always when I see it, it reminds me that I have to photograph a dragonfly 😉 !LOLZ

Good afternoon Hannes,
I had my first long 12 hour sleep last night after a very long time. The new pills took all of the pain away, but when I woke up this morning, it took me about 3 hours to shake the wooziness off.
Great to see that you have also learned how important help is, as that is a great way to go through life.
Hahaha, you know that Papillon is the French word for butterfly, but all that I had was a photo of a little dragonfly. So I know that you desperately want to take a photo of one and when you do, then you can also put it up as your profile picture 😜 !LOLZ
Cheers and thanks.

Good afternoon Zac,
we've come home earlier today. My son's car gets repaired later and I think I'll go offline by then. So, I'm replying now while having lunch, it's just some pasta ... noodles with a tomatoe sauce 😋
Tomorrow I want to make a photo trip to the north and hopefully find some frozen waterfalls ❄️
I'm so happy that you've found some sleep 😀 12 hours seem much but after a couple of days with no sleep you really needed this time, I believe.
Now you know how I feel after many hours of sleeping at work ... woozy 🤣 !LOLZ
My help can't be compared with the help you're doing every day, but it feels good when someone smiles and thanks me 😊
Yep, I know what Papillon means but I like this little dragonfly and who know, maybe soon I'll also have one as my profile image 😉

Good evening Hannes,
so does this mean that you guys received the new master cylinder? Then by now his car is fixed and his mom can have her car back 😉
I really hope that you found some frozen waterfalls, as they make for such nice pictures.
Thank you and last night was bad again, but I am not complaining. I wish that I had your job, as senior police officers in Austria have things so comfy 😜 !LOLZ
Hannes, there is a big difference between charity work and police work, but as I read it, you are a shining light in your division and that's how things should be methinks 😊
All that you need to do is to ask Mother nature kindly and I am sure that she will give you a beautiful dragonfly to take a photo of 🤞
Cheers and thanks.

Good evening Zac,
yep, it was the cylinder, he has got his car back and is already on the road again 😀
It was a nice hike today and there were some small waterfalls. I didn't take many photos, and this is one
I hope tonight will be a better night for you 🙏
Well, when we have some kind of bad pain that doesn't let us sleep during work, it isn't comfy at all 🤣 !LOLZ
Thanks, but I think my words make me seem to be better than I really am 😉
In a few months it will be Spring again and by then I'll start asking Mother Nature as kindly as possible 😊

Zac, where, exactly in Somerset West is this?
Google search gives address as 41 New St, Lionviham, Cape Town, 7130. Good idea in cities where there are open lots to start utilizing them. Rooftops another great place.
Thanks, Joan.
