๐Ÿ’š ๐’๐Ž ๐†๐Ž๐Ž๐ƒ ๐ŸŒณ The project by https://greenpop.org aims to create more green spaces in and around Cape Town that are accessible and valued in all communities by planting small gardens at schools, hospitals, and community areas. The project also focus on supporting and building skills among teachers, scholars and groundskeepers to maintain these new spaces. The ultimate goal is to enhance ecosystems and foster a deeper appreciation for nature in urban areas. And to support this extremely important work; weโ€™ve decided packed a few garden-care goodie bags (equipped with tools to keep the 'gardeners' and gardens happy, donating 50 pairs of garden gloves along with small garden spades & forks and a few watering cans.

A huge shoutout to our travellers who are making a difference by joining our trips-that-matter. Every trip booked with us supports our pledge to re-green our city with , contributing to their remarkable initiatives.

Thank you for joining us in this green adventure this past 10+ years! DM us for more information about this project, or to get involved with greenpop's plant days directly, or visit https://hotspots2c.co.za/change

Help transform communities one step at a time. We're always excited to deliver donations to the JBay Recycling Project's SwopShop with the help of Hotspots2c / Africa Select Journeys and their travellers. Together, we aim to donate more lace-up (winter) shoes for the upcoming wet and cold season. While we've delivered over 80 pairs of sandals over the summer, the children now need warmer shoes for winter.

Join us by donating pre-loved or new shoes or fund the initiative online at https://t.ly/donate-2-shoe-fund to help us keep the Swop Shop's shoe closet stocked.

Children in need (aged 3 to 17-years) rely on these essentials to stay in school. As always, Hotspots2C tours will help transport the donated shoes from Cape Town to JeffreysBay along their tour routes. Every shoe donated represents a step towards a more sustainable future for all.

What a fun and effective way to promote environmental responsibility, benefiting both the environment and the local community.

The recent winds and heavy rainfall have caused significant damage across the Western Cape; leading to road closures and widespread disruption. A level 9 warning issued by the South African Weather Service underscores the severity of the situation.

Although most of the storm is over, unfortunately, Morkel Cottage Daycare has not been spared: one of the classrooms has suffered structural damage with roof sheets blown off and other debris scattered into the fencing posing safety risks to the children. While the local disaster management team has been in contacted with us, but we'd like to repair this damage as soon as possible so that these little ones can return to their normal learning activities.

Thanks again to our dedicated travellers = your trip with us helps make this possible.. Our mission will always revolve around creating positive change and making a difference in local communities as we travel along our tour routes.

This is super cute! The local school in the Overstand area often identify children experiencing difficulties in reading and then introduce them to a very talented lady with a compassionate heart and a profound love for kids, aiming to achieve gold-star reading reports. Laura Checci provides individual support to improve the kids' reading skills through extra private classes ("Leeshulp vir Gr2โ€™s") in the afternoons. Some of these children stay in the nearby children's home, and many come from underprivileged backgrounds, lacking the necessary resources, time, and attention needed for success in reading and becoming true bookworms :)

The carefully-crafted soft toys donated act as special reminders to inspire and encourage these kids to practice their reading daily and overcome any reading obstacles they may face.

Thanks to those who made and donated these cute knitted toys! The kids absolutely love it! A special thanks to Hotspots2c who delivered this box of goodies on the recent Garden Route tour... The sheer magic of witnessing the sparkle in the kids' eyes as they opened the box was truly heartwarming!
