Miss Deaf SA pays a visit

Born in Newcastle, Janie Erasmus found the time to return to her home town during her schedule as Miss Deaf South Africa.

On Saturday, March 12, Janie spent time with her grandmother and other elderly residents from La Gratitude.

The purpose of the visit was to interact with the elderly and show they were not forgotten.

Janie attended the Huttenpark Primary School golf day on the same day, where she mingled with Newcastillians and added some glamour to the day’s proceedings.

Janie was crowned Miss Deaf SA in October last year, and has been using her title to raise funds for cochlear implants for deaf children and hearing aids for the elderly.
