JULY THEME - CHRISTMAS
Just look ar our marvelous masthead and you can see that this month has
brought on all sorts of Christmas cheer and spirit.
We have been treated to some incredible Izzy Dolls...
...toys and hand-warmers.
Visit this discussion to see blankets, beanies and more.
July is so very cold in South Africa. Our team is busy providing as many blankets as possible.
Here are two blankets that were distributed on Mandela Day, July 18.

ARCHIVES
Way back in 2010 before there was a KAS Snippets we had e-zines, these can be found on the KAS website.
You might reconizes some of the names and faces in this article.
Backlog cleared and deliveries plenty!
From Ronda: We finished all the envelopes from USA and so CLEARED the floor completely … just long enough for it to be swept !
Then we pulled in all the post from yesterday’s collection. John (Hotel Hope's driver) had to make two trips even with his big vanette and once again the room looks chock-a-block.
Our SA KAS team with their new 'haul'. From left, Wandile, Otti, Big John (who has been doing the post run for us), Lindiwe and Erin, Thursday 24 June 2010.
But it was a big event, because it is absolutely the first time that floor has been completely cleared since about November last year!
Well done Ronda, Erin and the team (with help from the grand children as well.) This is a wonderful effort and we are really excited that we are through the backlog and can now more readily clear the post as it comes in.
Two of Ronda's grandchildren insist on helping, Luca and Gemma.
(The KAS Barn was Ronda's home)
