Sizabantwana

Induna Adventures supporting the Sizabantwana project The Sizabantwana (Help the Children) Project aids children in the greater Hazyview area of Mpumalanga, South Africa. Their mission is to provide care for orphans, deserted children and children of terminally ill parents by training volunteers to provide in the basic needs of the children. These needs may be physical, emotional, intellectual, social or spiritual. The most basic needs that are met include food, clothing, housing and protection. The project also aims to establish a network of partners and to work in close partnership with other related organizations, while still operating as an independent community project. A strategy of investing in strategic individuals over the long term is preferred to short term training of large groups. Research is also conducted on case studies of the children as well as on training programs for volunteers. We at Induna Adventures are supporting the Siza Bantwana project with clothing, blankets, food, and any direct need that arise. We would like to encourage other organizations in Mpumalanga to get involved as well. Your support will make a very big difference in the lives of these children and ensure a brighter future for generations to come.

Sizabantwana Background

SizaBantwana (co-founded and managed by Induna Adventures) operates in the Bushbuckridge/Mariti area of Mpumalanga, caring for AIDS orphans and vulnerable children by addressing their immediate needs and the larger issues in the community to ensure that they have a bright and hopeful future. This area has a population of approximately 2 million people. Over 15% of the children in Mpumalanga are AIDS orphans, a number which may be under-reported because of the stigma associated with the disease. Children as young as a few weeks are left behind in a social-economic environment where the majority of people are struggling to survive themselves. Many of these children are living in child-headed households. The aim is to create a culture of hope for these children. SizaBantwana is empowering the AIDS orphans, their volunteer caregivers and informal foster parents to shape the future they dream of. How to get involved: • Visit SizaBantwana • Donate clothes, blankets, etc. • Donate food. • Donate money.

Press Release: The 2010 Big INDUNA mountainbike date is set

29 MAY 2010

The date is set for the 2010 Big Induna mountainbike classic! With the 2010 events calendar squashed and squeezed and the exciting soccer world cup entering African soil in June, planning your MTB calendar will be crucial.

The Big Induna fits in perfectly as one of the last races before the international tourists and soccer fans flood the local accommodation, which according to the critics will be scarce during the months of the world cup. Be sure to find out more about match fixtures and other info relating to the world cup.

The 29^th of May also marks the end of the summer racing calendar. All aspiring contestants will still enjoy a high level of fitness before the shorter days and cold evenings hamper all prospects of the best get-slim New Year’s resolution for 2010. Hazyview will then also still have that lush evergreen look that it is so renowned for.

Enough small talk, Induna has got the date set for all mountain bikers new and old to test their skills against Mother Nature. We are dedicated to giving you a fresh and new experience. One that will make you fall in love with mountain biking all over again.

Things to look forward to:

Medals for all finishers!!!
Improved and hyped water points
Spectators, spectators, spectators
A focus on mountainbike development and young riders
A warm Induna welcome at the finish

Don’t miss the Big Induna MTB Classic, 29 May 2010!
