Last Tuesday, SI Tenby hosted a highly successful friendship evening in Church House attended by a large number of fellow Soroptimists and friends. The evening offered an informative insight into the victims of oppression in South Africa in order to help raise awareness of modern-day slavery and human trafficking. SI Tenby's on-going campaign, now also SI Wales South's regional project, together with the action of many others, has thankfully resulted in the anti-slavery bill, which Theresa May presented to the House of Commons in December 2013, and was put into statute in May this year. However, there are still many loop-holes in this bill and there is no room for complacency: continued action is needed to ensure that there is more support for the victims of these deplorable crimes. A county forum involving representatives from organisations across Dyfed-Powys has been set-up to address the crime of human trafficking in the local community. SI Tenby president Dr. Anne Kelly has been selected as the representative from SI Wales South to serve on this forum. Guests at the friendship evening were offered a powerful, often harrowing insight into the political system of apartheid, which governed every aspect of life in South Africa from 1948 to 1991. ANC leader Nelson Mandela, released from prison in February 1990, worked closely with President F.W. de Klerk's government to draw up a new constitution for South Africa. After both sides made concessions, they reached agreement in 1993, and shared the Nobel Peace Prize that year for their efforts in ending the policy of apartheid. Afterwards, everyone enjoyed a wine and cheese supper and the opportunity for some productive discussion. SI Tenby would like to extend their thanks to Sainsbury's for their charitable donation of £100, and to all those who helped to make the evening such a resounding success. A special thank you is extended to Andy Griffiths for all his help and to Canon Andrew Davies for kindly allowing SI Tenby to use Church House for the event. The proceeds from the raffle and the generous donations from those who attended amounted to more than £450, all of which will be given to the Harriet Davis Trust.   SI Tenby president Dr. Anne Kelly was later pleased to be able to visit 'The Wheelabout' with Elizabeth Sleight, development manager for the Harriet Davis Trust, and a guest at the friendship evening. 'The Wheelabout' is one of the four houses owned by the Harriet Davis Trust offering holidays for disabled children and their families. Here she met with the Nash family from Brynmawr, near Ebbw Vale, who were holidaying at the house with their son Lewis. The Harriet Davis Trust is planning a fundraising 'Open House' evening at 'The Wheelabout', to include supper and live music, on Saturday, July 12, from 5-9 pm. Please contact Elizabeth Sleight for more details about this event.
