DIABETES IN THE YOUTH (DIY) SPUR EVENING – 11 JULY 2017

 

 

Diabetes SA Pretoria Branch Had a wonderful SPUR FUND RAISING EVENING At Centurion Mall Spur last night 11th July,2017.

Our kids with Diabetes SHADOWED the waiters & waitresses at Centurion Spur.
Whatever Centurion Spur turnover was in the 3 hours of service we got 10% which goes towards Diabetes SA Pretoria for the kids camp.
The waiters got their normal tips and if the customer wanted to tip the Kids, which they did , the child could keep their tips.
They also got a free burger and sugar free soda. There were prizes for all . We made a thousand rand as the restaurant wasn’t that busy but it is a thousand rand that we did not have so we are very excited ! And everyone had a great time ! We will be doing it again in summer !

The Museum really came alive April 2016

The Night at the Museum really came alive on Saturday 23rd April at the
Ditsong Museum in Pretoria !

Diabetes SA  took 30 kids with Diabetes  for a night of knowledge & fun ! Our guide Fortunate was a mine of information and made the tour of the museum so interesting !

Then fun and games were  had in the Discovery centre where the kids came up close & personal with the fossils & skeletons ! After an amazing treasure hunt, the Kids  relaxed, with packets of popcorn and watched ” A night at the Museum 3 “. The kids only got to the floor to sleep at 2am !

The adults Louise, Mariaan, Maryka,Melanie, Michelle  & Sr Ona passed out exhausted but exillerated !

All the kids  got on so well & had such amazing time …..
