Sien asseblief/For More Information see Afrikaans in Christchurch

Ons sal vanaf 25 Junie, Afrikaanse boeke kan uitneem by die Christchurch Sentrale Biblioteek in Gloucester Straat! Afrikaans gaan nou op die eerste vloer in die "Tale van die Wereld" area verteenwoordig wees tussen tale soos Chinees, Duits, Frans, Koreaans,Nederlands, Japanees en Persies. Die doel hiervan is om vir ons, wat Afrikaans is en hier in Canterbury woon, boeke in ons moedertaal aan te bied. Lees meer oor die "World Languages Collection Policy" van die Christchurch Sentrale Biblioteek hier.

'n Groot dankie daarvoor aan almal van julle wat dit moontlik gemaak het.

By having an Afrikaans section the Christchurch City Libraries acknowledges the growth of our community in Canterbury and is the result of many hours of work by several dedicated people who made it happen. Have a look at Christchurch Library World Languages Collection Policye for an interesting article on how they support immigrant communities with books in their own languages.

Ladies Breakfast 10th May at the Casino

LADIES BREAKFAST. SATURDAY,10th MAY-2008 CASINO GRAND CAFÉ
Tea for two? More like breakfast for forty five! SINZASA to thank all the ladies who turned out in masses to make our annual ladies breakfast a huge success. Spirits were high on Saturday morning and the conversation interesting, informative and most of all supportive. Being amongst likeminded people and being able to share your experiences, and your hardships, with people who have been there or who are going through it, is what this gathering is all about.

The team from SINZASA remind us all of how brave we are to embrace the challenge of uprooting our families and moving to New Zealand, they also provide the support we need during this transition and in the long run have become part of the family and lifelong friends.

And just to remind you, with SINZASA, you are always a winner. Nita was the winner of the breakfast raffle with lucky number 82. She was the recipient of a beautifully crocheted blanket. Thanks to all the ladies who supported the raffle and better luck next time...as for Nita, enjoy the blanket. It was made with a warm heart to keep you company during what is sure to be a chilly winter.

Our unsung heroes were paid tribute to because without their contribution to the communities of Christchurch and their care for the new families from South Africa, life would be very different for many migrants. Ozzie was mentioned and applauded for her work in the community and the organization. Her kindness and patience in helping the children of Christchurch must be complimented.

Emotions ran high when it was announced that Roz would be leaving for Wellington in July. She will be sorely missed and needs to be commended for all her assistance and organizational skills within SINZASA.

And then there is our Queen Bee, Priscilla! Need we say more but THANKS, for everything! Lest not forget the ladies who volunteer their time and skills to SINZASA. And to everyone, keep up the good fight and keep that wheel turning. Remember, what goes around, comes around.
