I have been asked to take some photo`s for Pamela of Oceansafaris.On Friday she is hosting 210 under privileged children from Kranzhook.On Saturday she is organising a trip for 30 children on one of their boats, for homeless children from a local home, Mazazani. After the boat trip they will be given a talk on the environment and given the equipment to perform a beach cleanup for about 30 minutes.The things found are logged and a report is made and put categories to find the items that are the worst offenders.They are having an environment day soon and many people will be attending to clean Plett beaches, so if you can come to the main beach at Plett you can join in, it could be fun.There is a Paws walk at Robberg on Saturday, where you can walk your dog in the reserve and prizes will be awarded.. There are many community projects that are being done by this company, as it is being done free of charge any help would be appreciated. Also any discounts for hotdog rolls,over 200 this weekend

In the year 2004, The Lord came unto Noah, who was now living in

South Africa, and said, “Once again, the earth has become wicked and

over-populated and I see the end of all flesh before me. Build

another Ark and save two of every living thing along with a few good

Humans.”

He gave Noah the blueprints, saying, “You have six months to

build the Ark before I will start the unending rain for 40 days and 40

nights”.

Six months later, the Lord looked down and saw Noah weeping in

his yard …. but no ark.

“Noah”, He roared, “I’m about to start the rain! Where is the Ark?”

Forgive me, Lord,” begged Noah. “But things have changed. I

needed a building permit. I’ve been arguing with the inspector about the

need for a sprinkler system. My neighbours claim that I’ve violated the

neighbourhood zoning laws by building the Ark in my yard and exceeding

height limitations. We had to go to the Development Appeal Board for a decision

Then South African Transport and Eskom demanded a bond be posted

for the future costs of moving power, trolley and other overhead

obstructions, to clear the passage for the Ark’s move to the sea. I

argued that the sea would be coming to us, but they would hear nothing of it.

Getting the wood was another problem. There’s a ban on cutting

local trees in order to save the Giant Spotted Owl. I tried to

convince the environmentalists that I needed the wood to save the owls.

But no go!

When I started gathering the animals, I got sued by an animal rights

group. They insisted that I was confining wild animals against their

will. As well, they argued the accommodation was too restrictive and it

was cruel and inhumane to put so many animals in a confined space.

Then Kort Broek of Environment Affairs ruled that I couldn’t

build the Ark until they’d conducted an environmental impact study on

your proposed flood.

I’m still trying to resolve a complaint with the Human Rights

Commission on how many previously disadvantaged individuals I’m supposed

To hire for my building crew.

Also, the trades unions say I can’t use my sons. They insist I

have to hire only Union workers with Ark building experience.

To make matters worse, the Customs and Revenue via the Scorpions

seized all my assets, claiming I’m trying to leave the country illegally

with endangered species.

So, forgive me, Lord, but it would take at least ten years for me

to finish this Ark.”

Suddenly the skies cleared, the sun began to shine, and a rainbow

stretched across the sky. Noah looked up in wonder and asked, “You mean

you’re not going to destroy the world?”.

“No”, said the Lord. “The South African Government beat me to it!”
