As we head towards the summer holidays at break-neck speed, we need to make sure that all our rescue stations and WaterWise trainers have the equipment that they need. If you can help us with the following items please contact us via the comment field on this story or Andrew on 021 4344011.Our station at Kommetjie needs 30 white plastic stackable chairs, Yzerfontein needs a locakable storage cupboard and a open shelf unit, Waterwise trainers need 2 x CPR dolls @R2 500 and we need a camera ( R1000) for one of the WaterWise trainers. If anyone has a digital, waterproof video camera such as the GoPro, that they no longer use we could put it to good use. Thank you.
