RUTA SECHABA PELE
MABOLOKA, SOUTH AFRICA
Community Based Organisation

“Ruta Sechaba Pele (RSP) is a volunteering organisation based in Maboloka,
a rural village in the North West Province, about 80 kilometres from Pretoria. The village has +/ 35,000 inhabitants and is affected by high levels of unemployment and poverty. Despite progress made by the local municipality, many households lack access to basic services such as water and sanitation. The organisation was founded in 2002 after members of the local community witnessed the effects of the AIDS epidemic in the village. A significant increase in funerals, a growing numbers of orphans and vulnerable children, a harsh and persistent stigma, lack of awareness of HIV and AIDS and personal experiences of sick family members and friends brought the volunteers of RSP together in action. (…) There are a lot of orphans and vulnerable children in Maboloka. Some live with their grandmother, but other households are childheaded. Support is provided in different ways." (from the RSP fact sheet)

The donations from the SOS Party 4.0 will on the one hand be used to organize a Christmas party for around 30 of the most vulnerable kids. The children had already asked for it, but up till now there was no money for it. So we are happy to be able to support this Christmas surprise including a food package for the vacation time during which the local food kitchen will be closed. Depending on the amount of people that will join the SOS Party, we are then also able to support that food kitchen. With around 100 EUR per month it provides the kids in need with basic alimentation.
For more information about Ruta Sechaba Pele you can contact us.

Concerts:

J.C. Thomaz and the Missing Slippers

J.C. THOMAZ AND THE MISSING SLIPPERS is a band founded and based in Rotterdam. The band defines their style as "dirty rock & roll" although the main influence and background is blues. The band was formed in 2008 by guitarist and vocalist Fabio Thomaz and has been active ever since. The band is known for their powerful stage performances and creates a party atmosphere that leaves no one standing still.

Pure…Contemporary…From the heart…KinKobra is known for their catchy and emotionally loaded songs, which, combined with a brain smashing and energetic live show, take you on a rollercoaster ride! When experiencing their music the band seems inspired by Alter Bridge, Papa Roach, and even Prince but KinKobra refuses to categorize their music. “We play Rock ‘n Roll for your soul!”

Knuckles of Frisco is aan een muzikale kruistocht begonnen. Met een herkenbaar geluid en authentieke, op zichzelf staande nummers, is deze band in staat om moeiteloos ieders muzikale hart te veroveren. Rauw, melodieus, verstild, melancholisch en soms keihard. Luisteren naar de muziek van Knuckles of Frisco betekent meegezogen worden in
beeldende teksten, opgetild worden door de dynamische variatie en geraakt worden door de emotie die uit de muziek spreekt. Zowel op de plaat als live op het podium wordt de muziek vol energie en recht uit het hart gebracht. Muziek zoals muziek bedoeld is…

“Flashy. Screamy. Electronic.”
Energetic live act with elements from punk, new wave, electro, dub, dnb, hiphop and noise. This frantic trio from the West Coast of Holland gives a wild show.

DJ's:

Señor Chico
Tom Hokke

A few words about our musicians: Fufu is an enchanting solo-singer, very lirical, sometimes with a touch of electro, sometimes jazzy. Half Way Station, a great two-man (meanwhile three-man) band that most of you already know, will play once again for us. J.C. Thomaz & The Missing Slippers were performing at WORM yet and for sure those of you who have seen them are already very enthusiastic about their concert at S.O.S. Party. After the concerts ETC DJs will be mixing, hopefully as great as the last time!

Thank you once again for being at the SOS Party! We collected enough money to give the children nice Christmas gifts (in value of ab. 25€ per kid).

On 21st December one of us, Ola, visited an orphanage Zespół Placówek Opiekuńczo-Wychowawczych in Zambrow, Poland to join the children by their Christmas Dinner and give them SOS-Party gifts. The children got things they were asking about: jumpers, trousers, jackets, t-shirts and on the photos they really seem to enjoy the presents :) We are happy we managed to make this day a little bit more special for them.

Thanks to those of you who helped us to ogranize the party, played and made other stuff for us, and of course to all of you who was there. We hope to see you again soon!

Last September one of our colleagues, Ola, collected donations for children in two Polish orphanages. She managed to collect enough money to help contribute to a better way of life there. But as Christmas is coming soon, she wanted make the kids happy once again by giving them something special for this special time.

Then Sofia came up with the idea: why not have fun while making a party and contribute to a better cause, all at once? Yes, why actually not?

So we would love you to join us at the SOS PARTY on Friday the 11th of December. The location still needs to be confirmed but the sure thing is, it’s a really cool and central located venue. We expect also some very good Rotterdam DJs and VJs to be there for us so it’s gonna be really great fun. We hope to see you there. Just follow us on our blog or our Facebook event.

Money collected at the party will go to the poorest orphanages in the East of Poland and Portugal to buy Christmas presents for children.
