\"Travelstart<\/a><\/p>\n

Back, by popular demand! The Travelstart Angels are to host their second auction this Friday, 2 September 2011 in our swanky restaurant in our Cape Town offices. We’ll have drinks and snacks available and the event will be MC’d by Travelstart’s own Mr Personality – Wouter Nel. All are welcome to join!<\/p>\n

Who the proceeds are going to<\/h2>\n

This year the proceeds are going toward\u00a0 an incredible initiative we recently discovered on the outskirts of Cape Town’s vibrant city centre, The Service Dining Rooms<\/em>. Established in 1935, this heartfelt soup kitchen manages to serve 500 hot, nourishing meals from their facilities daily, with a further 500 meals taken out to the underpriviledged in the townships thereafter.<\/p>\n

<\/span><\/span>The Travelstart Angels have visited the premises to discover that these hard-working volunteers, or rather, earth angels, need a helping hand. The monies raised at our auction this coming Friday will aid in improving on their already outstanding service. Our plans for The Service Dining Rooms<\/em> include, amongst other things, purchasing a much needed deep freeze and creating a website that will allow for better awareness of their establishment.<\/p>\n

Last year we raised over R12000<\/strong> for the Ra-ees Khan Fund<\/a> in under an hour. This year we’re aiming much, much higher! We’ve exceeded our expectations in sponsorship this year and have received generous donations.<\/p>\n
