Bolander headed out to Kelderhof last week to meet up with a group of Somerset West women gathered for a Sewathon. They had gathered to make warm tracksuits for children from Sir Lowry’s Pass Village, as part of the Love in Action outreach, under Elizabeth Visagie (see story above). The owner of Fabric Centre, Hillary Groves, very kindly donated all the materials for the project.
