NEW EARTH SCENTS
earth- friendly
products
NEW EARTH SCENTS was
created out of my
passion to help the
environment and
create optimal
health. I am a
mother of 3 and
nothing pleases me
more than to be able
to clean around my
children while they
are playing, knowing
that they are
breathing in nothing
but pure essential
aromatherapy plant
oils.
Especially wonderful
for special needs
children who tend to
be more prone to
allergies. My son
who has Mosaic Downs
Syndrome used to
suffer from terrible
allergies. Since I
switched to only
all-natural cleaning
products, he hasn't
had a single
one!

Charismatic Riaan Maritz
has an eye and a feeling
for space and
functionality. He
recently opened a
boutique style nursery
on the corner of Long
and Aberdeen street. It
is a true reflection of
creating functional
space and the locals
love it! “You can do a
formal garden with
indigenous plants,” says
Riaan. The backdrop in
his office bears an
almost life-size picture
to prove this point – it
is of a garden at
Arabella Estate. Riaan
also featured in the
September issue of The
South African Homeowner
for his amazing garden
architecture at Selkirk
House in Hermanus
Heights. Should you wish

green-fingered maestro,

Opreration BRAKENJAN
Since then
thousands of dogs and cats have
been fed and, with public
 support,
will continue to be fed. Some of
the animals are fed daily, and
others twice weekly by 84-year
old Joyce Rawstorn, who’s become
known to all the animals in
Zwelihle as an angel in
disguise. They know the sound of
her car so well, as soon as they
hear her coming, they run after
her like the rats in the story
of the Pied Piper.
The Hermanus Times appreciates
the continued support from the
animal loving community,
especially the stores that set
aside special trolleys for
donations. Without the efforts
of Pick n Pay, Eastcliff Spar,
Gateway Spar, 7/11 Onrus and Bay
Bargain Centre in the industrial
area, Brakkenjan would not be
the success it is today.
Also a big thank you to the
restaurants’ that donate their
leftovers to Joyce, it makes the
food last longer when mixed with
pellets. The animals rely on the
charity of others, as for some
of them it is the only way to
get food because their owners
are struggling themselves. Some
of the dogs and cats do not even
have the “luxury” of an owner
and they depend entirely on the
food Joyce and Annelie deliver.
If you would like to make a
contribution, please leave a bag
or tin of pet food in the
trolleys provided at the shops
mentioned above. Know that any
donation, large or small, is
carefully handed out and fed to
dogs and cats that need it
desperately. For more info,
Janine van der Riet can be
contacted on 082 885 0226. |
