Summary
Our
volunteers
have
resolved
the
health
issue
of
a
large
number
of
flies
in
the
Special
Needs
house
at
Ikha-
yalethemba
Sanctuary
by
making
and
installing
custom
fly
screens
for
the
door
and
windows.
This
address-
es
some
of
the
health
and
safety
aspects
of
the
registration
requirements.
The
sanctuary
is
also
selling
clothes
to
help
raise
funds
and
our
volunteers
have
assisted
by
making
some
hanger
rails
and
a
shop
sign
to
support
this
fundraising
initiative.
Report
At
Ikhayalethemba
Sanctuary,
the
design
of
the
windows
doesnt
allow
for
the
usual
style
of
fly
screens
and
there
is
a
lot
of
traffic
in
and
out
of
the
doors
so
flies
dont
have
much
difficulty
getting
in.
After
a
few
prototypes
and
a
bit
of
experimentation
our
volunteers
came
up
with
a
design
using
mosquito
netting.
It
still
allows
a
breeze
to
cool
the
rooms,
still
allows
access
to
the
window
latches
and
the
screens
certainly
keep
the
flies
out.
They
then
used
heavier
netting
to
create
strips
that
hang
from
the
top
of
the
door.
Carers
coming
in
with
their
hands
full
or
pushing
a
wheel
chair
have
no
difficulty
coming
through
the
door.
A
few
volunteers
sharing
ideas,
problem
solving
and
working
together
and
the
fly
problem
in
the
Special
Needs
area
is
solved.
Importantly,
it
creates
a
healthier
environment
for
the
children,
an
important
part
of
the
centre
reaching
full
registration.
One
of
the
current
Sanctuary
Trust
fundraising
initiatives
is
a
second
hand
clothes
shop
that
Mama
Lumka
and
her
family
run
each
day.
Our
volunteers
have
helped
out
not
only
with
the
task
of
sorting
the
clothes
for
sale
but
they
also
made
some
rails
for
Mama
to
hang
the
clothes
on
as
part
of
her
shop.
Some
of
the
volunteers
also
painted
a
sign
to
draw
attention
to
the
shop.
Two
examples
of
how
the
skills
of
our
volunteers
can
help
GVI
and
our
partners
achieve
our
objectives
and
certainly
in
the
case
of
the
fly
screens,
of
how
some
problem
solving
and
working
together
can
make
a
big
difference.
