The annual Miss Garden Route/Klein Karoo project, organized by the Garden
Route Casino in Mossel Bay, does not only entail beautiful girls from the
region who enter to become the “Face of the Southern Cape”. At the “heart”
lies the abused women and children who turn to the shelters to empower them.
For the past three months, three women from four shelters in the Southern
Cape, were treated to a makeover to let them experience how it feels to be
treated like royalty.
Several businesses and individuals in the four towns where the shelters are
located, have made these makeover experiences a once in a lifetime event for
most of the women. The shelters that benefit from the project are:
Malibongwe (Oudtshoorn), Phambili (George), Women Who Care (Knysna) and CEF
(Creating Effective Families in Mossel Bay).
A finalist was selected from each shelter and these four women attended the
gala evening where Miss Garden Route/Klein Karoo 2009, Louise Muller (18)
from Mossel Bay was crowned. The four finalists received a surprise when
Pick-n-Pay vouchers for R1 000 each were handed to them. Nicole Moolman from Group Editors in George, was very upset when she learned that only the
winner would receive R1 000 cash from the Garden Route Casino. She then
negotiated and was able to organize a voucher for each of the finalist.
The winner of the make-over competition is Annelise Arendse from CEF in
Mossel Bay. According to her it is amazing to experience how one can regain
your self respect and confidence in an environment of love and protection
where you do not constantly have to fear for your and your children’s lives.
All the proceeds of the ticket sales will be divided amongst the four
shelters. Last year more than R150 000 was donated to the shelters.
