Knit a scarf or beanie 2024

After the tremendous success and incredible personal contribution of blocks in the Knit for Bloem project for 2023, Bloem Show and Bloemnuus took hands again in yet another knitting project. The knit a scarf or beanie project encouraged the public to either knit a beanie or scarf for young or old. A total of 1021 knitted and crocheted items were received from across the country. 10 Institutions were identified and the items were distributed accordingly. Many thanks to Bloemnuus, who joined hands with Bloem Show in this amazing live changing project.

Mandela Day 2024

As part of our yearly activity, Bloem Show was part of the 67 Minutes of Mandela Day celebrated throughout South Africa.

We adopted Club X Society whom works in the Heidedal community. Members of Club X Society have been operational for 29 years now. Primary school children from underprivileged families are given basic need products.

In celebration of Mandela Day 2024, Bloem Show assisted Club X Society with toiletries for 28 children who comes from 7 different school in and around the Heidedal area.

Bloem Show staff spent 67 minutes by travelling to Heide Primary School in Heidedal to deliver all 28 packs of toiletries packs and interacted with some of the children.

On Saturday 27 July 2024, Club X Society hosted a formal event were children, parents and all sponsors were invited for the hand-over of all donations. Lunch was served and all children were taken to Navil Hill for a an experience they never experienced and will always cherish.

“What counts in life is not the mere fact that we have lived, It is what difference we have made to the lives of others that will determine the significance of the life we lead.”

Brei vir Bloem 2023

Brei vir Bloem is in 2023 geloots ter viering van die 140jaar van Bloemskou en om sover moontlik die gemeenskap betrokke te kry om ’n verskil te maak.
Die reaksies was ongelooflik en was hierdie mooi projek ’n reuses.

Blokkies van 140mmx140mm kon gehekel of gebrei word, waarna 100 blokkies aanmekaar gewerk is om ’n kombers van 140cm x 140cm te maak.
Altesaam 18 400 blokkies is deur honderde mense van oor die land heen gebrei en gehekel om 184 blokkieskomberse te kon maak.
Wat ’n groot voorreg om in elkeen se stories te kon deel. Elkeen wat op ’n klein manier ’n verskil wou maak deur die hekel of brei van ’n blokkie of die vaswerk van blokkies vir ’n groter kombers.
Groot dank aan Bloemnuus en Rosestad 100.6FM wat saam met Bloemskou hande gevat het in hierdie besonderse projek ter viering van 140 jaar in die skoubedryf.
Komberse is uitgedeel aan die Omega-bejaardesorgsentrum in Heidedal, Solidariteit Helpende Hand en Genade in Aksie, Mooihawe, Lavender gang-Ons tuiste, Striata, Serenitas, Alquando, Reddersburg en Zastron.
