Raising funds for the participants and setup of the Veldhospitaal Project, which includes: materials, travelling costs, and everything we cant think of now. But most importantly being able to create without scraping. It is true that we as artists can produce art out of nothing - but we are already building a hospital and part of our duty is to bring awareness to the importance of supporting the creative spirit. What would happen if the world exist without artists?

Portions of this Donation Campaign will go to:

  • Hanna du Plessis (the eyes on this body)
  • Gerhard Swanepoel, criminal phycologist representing AIM4U, mental health and wellness warriors. The strain that the system has put on these warriors caused life threatning illness . Gerhard is finishing his book on guiding families towards mental health. 
  • Higher Educational Funding for the brilliant youth from TEETHING Production: Maia Nel (DUX learner 2024), Chulumanco Quotiwe (Chair person, 2024 Deputy Head Girl), Iqra Mumin, Leora Nilson, Nimco Awaale, Thys Lourens (Deputy Head Boy, Vice Chair person), Ebony Slingers & Jeffline Ndavala
  • As well as transport and TEETHING Production setup needs.
  • The Shack Theater in Swellendam, Freek Oerson. Funding towards what ever they are in need of. The amount of community upliftment is mindblowing.

Please consider to keep the arts alive. Together is better. The Patron Saint Raffle is made possible with the generous support from the FynArts Festival Hermanus, Concrete Units & Veldhospitaal.
