Reach for A Dream – Stefan’s Dream [Pretoria Photographer]

I assist The Reach for A Dream Foundation on a part time basis and it has enriched my life so much.  During the past week I was fortunate enough to assist with Stefan’s Dream.  Stefan is a MS patient from Bloemfontein.  His dream was to meet Bobby van Jaarsveld and play guitar with him.  Reach for a Dream made Stefan’s Dream a reality.

If you would like to assist this lovely organisation, please follow the link and have a look at their website and social media pages.   Reach for A Dream works to make the dreams come true of children suffering with life threatening illnesses.  And you can make a difference too.

Just a few favourites.  All the images can be viewed under the client proofs.

 

 

 

MMI Year End Function 2018 [Pretoria Event Photographer]

It was time again for MMI’S annual year end function.  This year they went all out and hosted a colourful and eventful function that was enjoyed by all in attendance.   

The staff was encouraged to dress up to suit the “carnival theme”.  I loved the happy vibes of this functions so much.

Just a few favourites.  All the images can be viewed under the client proofs.

Daniella & Mia is 13!

Agt jaar terug het twee skaam dogtertjies mekaar raak gespeel op die speelgrond.  Hulle het vinnig goeie maats geword en ‘n vriendskapsband het ontstaan wat jaarliks net sterker gegroei het.

Nou hier in hul 13de lewensjaar het ons dit goed gedink om hul verjaarsdag partytjies saam te hou.  Ons as mammas is nadese baie goeie vriendinne en die tweetjies verjaar letterlik dae uitmekaar uit.

Dannii en Mia het dadelik besluit op die tema “50’s themed birthday bash” en ons was gelukkig genoeg om ‘n lokaal op te spoor wat by ons tema ingepas het.  Na weke se beplanning het die groot dag aangebreek…..

Net ‘n paar fotos van die spesiale, “once-in-a-liftetime” gebeurtenis.  Kyk gerus na al die fotos onder die “client proofs” [password protected].

‘n Groot dankie gaan aan Chocolate et Cafe op Graham Road in Pretoria Oos vir die gebruik van hulle pragtige venue, hulle fantastiese werknemers en heerlike kos.

Reach for a Dream – Thabang

Little Thabang is a 3 year old boy with Rhabdomyosarcoma.  He is currently undergoing treatment and is very ill.  We wish him and his mom well on this long and hard journey.

To make their journey a little easier, the Reach for a Dream Foundation, together with their wonderful sponsors took him and his mother Nonhlanhla on a shopping spree.  We managed to buy him lots of clothes for winter, some bedding for his bedroom at home and toys of course.

He was also treated to a lunch at Spur.  All just to try and make everyday life a little better for them.

Thank you to every sponsor and volunteer that assisted herein.

Reach for a Dream – Dineo [Pretoria Event Photographer]

The Reach for a Dream Foundation have been assisting children with life-threatening illnesses in making their dreams come true.  This was the case for little Dineo who wants to be a police women when she grows up.  The SAPS – Brooklyn Station, assisted RFAD in making this dream a reality.  They gave Dineo the opportunity to be a police women for a day by creating a mock hi-jacking scenario at Brooklyn Primary School with the help of the K9 unit.

Just a few of my favourite images.  All the images can be viewed under the client proofs.

Our little police officer needed a uniform of course.

First our little police officer did a drill inspection and found an officer that did not comply…..

We were then alerted that there was a hi-jacking taking place at Brooklyn Primary.  Dineo got to drive in a high speed chase to the scene of the crime.

As always Captain Colette Weilbach assisted.

The learners at Brooklyn Primary were ready to watch the mock hi-jacking scenario with Dineo and learn more about how to proceed in a real life situation.

RFAD – Sabina [Pretoria Photographer]

I recently met little Sabina and her family through Reach for a Dream.  She is a brave little fighter.  It broke my heart to see how happy she was to receive her Cadii School Bag.  So many kids take these things for granted.  But this was Sabina’s dream.  She wanted a Cadii for school and Reach for a Dream, with the help of their sponsors, made this dream come true.

I am truly blessed to be part of this team. Encouraging children to use their dreams to fight life-threatening illnesses.
