Zimbali Rotary’s Christmas trees with purpose

Rotary Club of Zimbali President Kosh Thaver said the money from the freshly cut tree sales will, as always, go to charity.

Forget plastic, made in China Christmas trees and rather go all natural, while supporting a good cause.

Buy a Christmas tree from the Rotary Club of Zimbali’s annual tree stand in Ballito.

Rotary Club of Zimbali President Kosh Thaver said the money from the freshly cut tree sales will, as always, go to charity.

“One of our biggest initiatives is our Brite Eyes Cataract Surgery Camp. Together with the Ilembe Department of Health and local government subsidised hospitals, we have successfully hosted six surgery camps between 2011 and 2016 which have given sight and a renewed life to about 800 patients who were not in a position to afford surgery.

A major portion from the sales of these Christmas trees will go towards funding another Cataract Surgery Camp at Maphumulo Provincial Hospital early in 2017, and our target for this camp is a further 100 cataract operations,” said Thaver.

The trees are on sale at The Quarter Boutique Centre, (directly opposite the Regal Inn Hotel) from 9am – 5.30pm on weekdays, and 8.30am – 3pm on weekends until December 19. The trees come in all sizes and start from R160, but hurry, because they are selling fast.
