“The arrogant, judgmental and egotistical appear to think they are better than us. Truth is, they are attempting to convince themselves that they are. Judging a person does not define who they are (for we really don’t know), but it does question why we are so ready to make such assumptions – and what it is within us that we are projecting upon them” ~ Unknown

The First Thursdays Durban 14 chosen by Marco Santoniccolo of SPIGA Durban on show at Sidebar 200 Florida Road Durban until end December 2016.

Go have a look as there is a huge difference between seeing one of these photos on your 18 inch monitor and being surrounded by 14 of them live at 46.8 inches each! Plus you can grab a glass of wine and light pasta while you sit there in this awesome Durban weather.

Can you also hear the CROW of St. Thomas’ Home for Children?

Here is the big idea:

Benefit two non-profit organizations in one go
Organize a trip for the children of St. Thomas’ Home for Children to visit CROW
Bus transport, entrance fees, snacks, cool drinks and lunch are required
Sunday 26 August is a possible date, subject to CROW & St Thomas management tying up loose ends
All sponsors, helpers, their friends, family and children to attend the event
The standard visit is as follows: “We are open to the public on the last sunday of every month. The gates open at 10:30am and the guided tour starts at 11:00am. A donation of R20-00 per person is asked upon entry and refreshments, t-shirts and diaries are sold before and after the tour. Please support CROW and join us. Gain an insight into the world of wildlife rehabilitation in one of the biggest centres of its kind in South Africa”
With help from others it will happen soon
