Support Water Lily’s Women’s Group cancer drive

Join Water Lily’s Women’s Group as they mark their 10th anniversary with an afternoon of empowerment, cancer awareness, a 3-course meal and entertainment.

JOIN the Water Lily’s Women’s Group as they celebrate their 10th anniversary while raising awareness on cancer.

The group is made up of women whose aim is to reach out and empower the poor and less privileged women.

“We engage in community development programmes and create awareness about cancer and gender abuse,” said chairperson and founder, Ivey Govender.

She said the name water lily is symbolic of rebirth because the flowers close at night and reopen in the morning.

“It represents enlightenment because a beautiful bloom emerges from the mud. Just like women, no matter what the situation is, we always find a way to rise and shine, hence the group’s motto says, ‘Each time a woman stands up for herself, she stands up for every woman’,” she said.
The group also has a cancer support group, which meet once a month at Wyebank Crèche.

The event will be held at the creche at 2 Hilltop Road, Hilltop Gardens, Wyebank. People are urged to dress smart and stick to the colours of the day which are pink and white. Entrance fee is R100 per person.

There will be a three course meal and entertainment.

For more info and tickets, contact Ivey Govender on 083 279 9046.

My name is Sanelisiwe Tsinde, and I'm a mother of two boys and very family-oriented. Being a community journalist for years, I can proudly say I love writing about positive community news articles and giving a voice to the voiceless. Seeing people getting assistance warms my heart. Every day is a different challenge and a new learning opportunity. I supply news for our trusted publication weekly, and a few years ago, Caxton ventured into online publication, so I contribute daily to the websites. I could say I am a multimedia journalist, and working in a community newspaper is beneficial as we do not focus on one thing but we do a bit of everything.
