Our volunteers have been working hard sorting mail, making blanket packs, sewing on KAS labels and participating in distributions. The discussion has all the latest updates.
Squares are making their way to Estelle and her team that will be creating KAS community blankets that will honor Cathy and all that she has done for KAS over many years. If you browse this discussion you will be able to see the progress on this project.
Finances for March and April 2026. A note from Ronda:
"According to the April trial balance, and for several months now, we have been spending each month far more than is coming into KAS via PAYPAL.
Nett loss for the two months of this financial year already shows as R26,300 odd.
