Cassie Roache and Angel in Barrydale

Cassie Roche and her daughter Danniella have been lovingly nurturing Moonbeam and Angel back to health, 2 horses rescued by KAPS. They were found starved and in terrible condition, but thanks to Cassie's dedication, they are well on their way to good health and loving new homes. Thanks to all in Barrydale who let them graze on their land, it was a treat to see them walking through the village from pasture to pasture!

Community Projects: "Barrydale Cares" - "Barrydale Gee Om"

Barrydale Cares, Christmas food parcels

Each Christmas "Barrydale Cares" hands out food parcels to needy families. Here one family receives their parcels, helping them to look forward to a happier Christmas.

Thank you Alex!
A good friend of many Barrydalers as well as "Barrydale Cares," Alexander Pickford, once again donated proceeds of her exercise classes to Barrydale Cares.  Alex, who lives in the UK, recently spent a few weeks here visiting Nigel & Lynda and conducted a number of yoga classes.  On her previous visit, being summer, she gave water aerobic classes.   Many thanks, Alex, we probably will never fully appreciate what your donations and other donations mean to people in desperate need.  It enables our social worker, Annaline Zulch, to be in a position to have food on hand for the hungry and provides help to the needy in many other ways. For more information on "Barrydale Cares" click on "Community Projects" in the left column (above).

 donkey saved by KAPS

This elderly donkey was recently rescued by KAPS in Suurbraak. He was found in a horrendous state but with the help of the SPCA in Swellendam, KAPS managed to rescue it by lifting it up into the horse box, and take him home to the KAPS farm. He has been nurtured back to health with the care and dedication of the KAPS team who even had to mince his food as his teeth where in such a state. We're happy to say he is doing very well and has a good many years under his belt yet! He is now enjoying a peaceful retirement with the other KAPS donkeys.

KAPS would welcome donations for donkey feed. If you are able to donate, no matter how small an amount, our banking details are:
