ZPSF September 2022 Update

Dear Friends and Supporters,

Please find in good order our September 2022 trip reports written by Johan Schultz who did the deliveries with the help of Hannes Jovner and Shannon Wheeler on this incredibly upside down trip.

Just a quick update on our Adopt and Goldie Oldie Campaign. We have 430 Boxes for our Golden Oldies Adopted for far, Yippee, Still 341 to go. It’s that time of the year again and we at the ZPSF would like to be able to make the upcoming Christmas of 2022 extra special for our pensioners. A huge Thank You to everyone who is / has supported us so far. The current value of the Christmas single person parcel is about R1200 but we are asking for R800 ($60) (£50). (SAME AS THE PAST 7 YEARS). Even if a group of friends make a joint donation to adopt a Golden Oldie or just add to the Christmas kitty for those who are not yet adopted. Your support will go a long way to help making them feel very special this Christmas. For those who would still like to donate towards the upcoming trip or sponsor one of the few outstanding boxes please find in good order the various ways to make a donation attached.

For your convenience I have attached a copy of the partial name list of pensioners receiving individual boxes showing who has been adopted to date. I know everyone is curious about the Gifts, trust me they are super awesome but I am only posting pictures of them once the truck is doing its rounds. I don’t want to ruin the surprise, as for a lot of our Golden Oldies this will be the only gift they receive this year for Christmas. Although just a small hint, due to the current load shedding in Zimbabwe we have included something once again to sched some light on the situation.

Please if you notice any errors on the name lists if you can contact me and let me know. I always try my best to keep it 100% but errors do occur. Also please if you make a donation and are adopting one of our Grannies or Grandpas please send me an email on linda@zpsf.co.za no matter which way you are making your donation from the various ways listed on the attachment. This is so that I can please keep track of who has been adopted.

For everyone’s convenience we finally have our WISE Account up and running with branches in Canada, USA, New Zealand, Australia, UK and then a Euro one. Hopefully this will make it easier for those who do not wish to use PayPal etc. Thank You.
