Avontuur Estate September 2021 newsletter

Here’s an uplifting story to conclude Women’s month: A group of Afghan girls who have toiled and fought for years to get educated have just been liberated from turmoil in Kabul and offered international robotics scholarships – thanks to the caring work of an American woman with 11 children of her own.

Even amidst difficult times there’s much to give us hope and inspiration. Just switch on the Paralympics; how proud we are of our SA competitors winning 5 medals so far - 3 Gold medals, 1 Silver and 1 Bronze. And how about our majestic Cape mountains royally dusted with snow? Plus it’s the start of spring – a time of blossoming and new growth and a time to sow for the future.

There are plenty of reasons to celebrate Spring - here are a few to entice you:
