We would also like to thank the anonymous donor who knitted wonderful,
warm baby clothes and blankets. These were distributed to the babies we
visit in Diepsloot.
The Society of St Vincent de Paul was formed in Paris in 1833 by Frederick Ozanam, a student at the University of Paris. The society grew rapidly, but the friends soon realised that actions speak louder than words and began to distribute firewood to the poor in winter, and later food. Visiting the poor in their homes was an essential part of the work of the conference. SSVP IS A REGISTERED PUBLIC BENEFIT ORGANISATION - NPO 003/193 - DONATIONS ARE TAX DEDUCTIBLE.

April Social
Our monthly social held in April 2012, was a bitter sweet occasion. We bid farewell to Shirley- thanks Shirley for all your hard work over the years. We wish you and your family well as you begin this new chapter.
We also welcomed back Monica from her overseas stint.
A big thanks to our chef for the evening, Evandrie, for a huge delicious pot of breyani!

Christmas Party 2011!
Our annual Christmas Party for our families from Diepsloot took place on
3 December 2011 at Brescia House Sports grounds. We were blessed with
wonderful weather-clear, blue skies-perfect for a braai; and the fun and
games lined up.
The day went off well, and was enjoyed by all. Thanks to all who contributed to making it a success-a special thanks to the JAM team who volunteered their time and assisted us. We look forward to the next one- December 2012- here we come!
