Inspiration
by James Sleigh
In business leadership, "motivation" has become a multi-million dollar industry - in which a science has been created to try to get staff to buy-in, be more excited by and become more engaged in the work that they do.
While there is a place for motivational techniques, and they serve as good reminders to support and empower staff, in an organisation where the main focus is care and empowering others, those who really flourish here at Camphill are those who are driven by inspiration.
We have made Inspiration the theme for this month's newsletter, asking staff and residents to write about what inspires them, what it is that fuels the energy, heart and soul of this organisation.

Catching up with the Moya Team
by Geornelle de Villiers
Despite their busy schedules, each member of the office team always has time to spare for our residents. Be it a coffee date, hair-colouring session or just a quick hello in passing. These moments are often a much-needed cheer up for the team when they step out of the office for a break. Most of the time they walk away amazed by the lessons taught by our residents, be it deliberate or not.
I asked some of our team members which residents inspire them and why.
“I am a huge Siggy fan. She is tough and hardworking, yet also loving, helpful and considerate. These qualities are what make her exceptional and inspirational.”
“Most definitely Sandra, classy and beautiful and she ages gracefully”
“Sylvia for she is always willing to help and super dedicated to her work. Witnessing this is just amazing”
“I am inspired by Wim - he is such a gentleman, always positive, always polite, and deeply honest, he is a real mensch!”
“Bradley is so inspirational, looking back at his journey, he has really grown.”
“Lorret is my inspiration, she is fearless”
“Dylan inspires me for he is always helpful”
“I am inspired by Neil. Nothing gets him down; he is a hard worker and knows what he wants.”
“I definitely find inspiration looking at Alex. What a hustler, man. Always looking at ways to earn an honest cent or two. Be it selling NikNaks amongst his friends or DVDs at the market. He is a true entrepreneur at heart.”
"Lizzie, you inspire me with your sparkly eyes, impeccable pronunciation of each word you speak, always a smile, a hug and a joke to share. My morning breath of fresh air…"
Our residents are definitely worthy of an award or two for being the true definition of inspiration. Unknowingly they inspire us to overcome our ordinary experiences and limitations. They help propel us from empathy to possibilities and transform the way we perceive our own capabilities.

Celebrating Easter in style
by Janine Strumpher
Before the residents went home for Easter we decided to have a communal Easter lunch, where we could sit together, break bread and catch up.
Ruth opened the lunch in prayer, and the central kitchen and the young volunteers made a delicious meal of braai meat and salads. There was a prize up for grabs for the best decorated table. The judges had a hard time deciding because all the tables looked stunning. Congratulations Grover house for your very detailed decorations and winning a huge hamper of Easter eggs.

The Gift was mine
by Jenny Buckle
As a mum of triplet men with autism, and a person very involved in early intervention, I have become someone who lives my world on the entire spectrum. I have worked with children who have no symptoms of autism after intervention, and assisted families whose children did not have the opportunity for intervention and support, or whose children simply had more complex challenges. I have lived miracles in the work I do and have seen families' lives restored. I have also seen many families, not only mine, struggle with challenges and severe biomedical issues that required strict diets and intensive support to make them feel well enough to cope, using methods that could help them learn.
My sons are identical triplets and they turn 27 this year. Covid kept us all in limbo for a few years and now it is time for them to live their adult lives in our community. Mitch has been asking me to find ‘my own house’ for quite a number of years now. This letter is about my extraordinary experience visiting Camphill Village West Coast when I was invited by James to come and share some of my knowledge and experience with the community. Perhaps I could assist with some ideas about their new central kitchen? Perhaps I could share some pearls of wisdom with their wonderful caregivers and house leaders?
The gift was mine! I arrived a little uncertain about what I would be sharing and who I would be meeting, only to be met by a peace and tranquillity which is hard to put into words. These places make mothers like me very anxious. Walking into a place where you would be ‘handing your children over’ and trying to delay that day, until you no longer can. That day! D-day! How will they care for my baby like I can? How will they know when he is sick or just ‘not himself?’
My day was filled with informal meetings with the health and wellness team, sessions with the caregivers, house leaders, volunteers, and lunch at one of the houses. We all sat at the table and ate a bobotie from the central kitchen. It was easy. It felt like home. Everyone was so comfortable and there was the usual banter one would see at any lunch table. Ease of conversation, sharing of suggestions about the soccer team, laughter and teasing. We prayed and gave thanks as any group of people sharing a meal would. Where was the unease? Where was the dread?
I left after a wonderful day of engaging with many of the people who are involved in making this a true village! Everyone makes this the village it is. What an encouraging experience in a world where all we want is to feel we belong, that we can contribute to society, and that our rights as individuals will be respected. I am in awe of all of you and so excited about the way forward for my INDIVIDUAL sons. To each and every one of you, thank you for giving me hope for their future and for doing the amazing work you are all doing.

x3 but she didn’t Buckle
by Lee Adams
Jenny Buckle, a proud mom to four young adult sons, three of whom are triplets and on the autism spectrum, visited us at Camphill Village West Coast.
During her very interesting talk she regaled us with tales of her adventurous, often challenging journey with her triplets. Jenny mentioned the importance of monitoring, amongst other things, their diet, because they literally cannot stomach fruits like apples and grapes. Sticking to their daily, weekly, monthly routine also assists the young men in maintaining some sense of stability. Jenny advised offering praise and attention before a situation escalated, which would then force one to pay attention in an effort to restore order and calmness.
One of the things that was apparent in Jenny’s sharing with us, was that if you maintain your sense of humour, you can manage just about anything. How Au-some.

Inspired House Leaders
by Geornelle de Villiers
At Camphill Village our Group Home Leaders are not only “in charge” they have to take charge. They are housekeepers, cooks, therapists, nurses, relationship advisers, but most importantly mothers to our residents. All of this they manage with a world of patience, endurance and love for the residents in their houses.
A job of this nature cannot be fulfilled without some form of inspiration. We asked them what inspires them daily to keep doing what they are doing.
|
|
Lorcadia - Grover
The residents keep me inspired! They are not always easy, but they keep me on my toes. They brighten up my darkest days with their sense of humour and relentless honesty. Their thoughtfulness also tends to surprise me almost daily. During our communal lunch on the 14th April one of the residents whom I do not often speak with came up to me and said “Lorcadia, I heard about your dad and I hope that you are okay”. This gesture brought a tear to my eye. The residents also taught me many skills such as patience and love without limitations.
|
|
|
Ria - Egret
Inspiration for me is looking at my residents. They inspire me to be the best I can be, because they live life in striving. Always willing and smiling no matter what life puts on their journey. They inspire me to push myself beyond my comfort zone. I always say if they can do it with so much passion, who am I to quit or complain.
|

|
Felicity - Ibis
When I first arrived at Camphill Village I was lost, but as my stay continued at Camphill this feeling transformed to one of belonging. I believe that this happened because I was surrounded by a community of beautiful and loving people. The kindness of everyone here was refreshing. Camphill soon felt like my second home. This makes me appreciative of the lifestyle we live in Camphill. I do not see myself somewhere else soon. I look forward to continuing my journey with Camphill and its beautiful residents. Here I learn and grow.
|
|
|
Ruth - Aquarius
My residents are my biggest inspiration. They live life to the fullest and are always pushing the boundaries. My residents are cool and fun. This job is not for the faint hearted, it is a calling. I thank God everyday for placing me at Camphill Village with the group of residents I currently care for. With their different characters they challenge me quite a bit. They have taught me the practice of patience and endurance.

Donation inspiration
by Janine Strumpher
Inspiration - a divine influence directly and immediately exerted upon the mind or soul. What inspires you to donate to charity, parting with your hard-earned income? After doing plenty of research the main reason is: because it makes you feel good. Donating to charity is a major mood booster. The knowledge that you’re helping others is hugely empowering and, in turn, can make you feel happier and more fulfilled. Research has identified a link between making a donation to charity and increased activity in the area of the brain that registers pleasure - proving that as the old adage goes, it really is far better to give than to receive.
At Camphill Village West Coast, our biggest challenge is finding the funding to keep residents with no family or financial support at Camphill Village. These residents come from vulnerable backgrounds, often from abuse or from living on the streets. The monthly cost per resident to Camphill is substantial: housing, house leaders, food, security, skills development, therapies, municipal costs, medical costs, etc. We know what our living costs are, so we are pleading for your assistance, no matter how small, because every expense covered starts with that first rand.
Help someone in desperate need to keep this their home and family, feel good in the process and get a tax deduction. Please contact me to help our vulnerable residents at fundraiser@camphill.org.za and I call you back to discuss the details.

Central kitchen
by Masixole Madyungu
I grew up in a home where the fridge was empty but love, honesty and joy were plentiful. It's definitely a humbling experience being a part of the Central kitchen, cooking for people whose love, honesty, joy and appreciation is plentiful. Of all my experiences working at Camphill, I’ve discovered that sharing a meal with joy is one of the common elements that bring people together. I strongly believe that food ties us to our community and our traditions, and it's the thing that makes us feel good and connected.
Others might say food is just fuel. For me food is about family, food is about community, food is about identity and we nourish all those things when we eat well. Maybe we're all inspired by the foundation of our own organisation, which was built in a manner of sharing and taking care of each other. Maybe we use a central kitchen and communal lunches as the vehicle to drive our own spirit of Ubuntu. Food has a culture. It has a history. It has a story. It has relationships.
Communities that sit together and share a meal communicate better, because food brings people together on many different levels. It’s nourishment of the soul and body. It is truly love.

Inspiring unity and ownership through inclusion and participation
by Carine Human
This past week our new bull arrived, after we had to say our goodbyes to Samson. Our herd is in the next generation now and he cannot breed with his own offspring – we wish him well with his new herd. He has left behind a great genetic legacy to our Jersey-cross herd, and now our new bull will strengthen the herd some more with his own legacy. But what should his name be?
Our approach to finding a name was to invite everyone in the village to nominate names. Seeing everyone responding with enthusiasm and creativity was very inspiring and in some instances rather humorous!
We gave our farmer, Viwe, and herd master, Roji, the honour of drawing the name. The name drawn was the suggestion of Gillian from Sunset house, which was...... drum roll: Sylvester!
Sylvester, you are welcome and now part of the family and we thank you for inspiring creativity and shared enthusiasm amongst us villagers!

What inspires us to do the work that we do?
by Viwe Dzebe-Dzebe
|
|
Inspiration is the key component to unlocking and achieving true potential, but inspirational triggers vary from person to person.
We asked some of our residents and employees what inspires them to do the work they do:
|
|
Ricus
What inspires me to the work that I do is trying to make a difference in the village by offering my time and effort. By coming to work every day I want to also inspire other residents, especially the new ones, to try and make a difference in the village.
|
|
|
Wim
What inspires me is that I like my job. I enjoy my work and it is my daily routine. Waking up every morning makes me feel fresh, ready to move and get something done.
|
|

Stefan
To work as a part of the farm-team, to work together with the residents, the farm workers and the other young volunteers is always interesting. Not to know what you will do during the day is inspiring and worth going to the farm, because the only thing you can be sure is that you will learn something new. The reason why I’m doing a volunteering year is that I want to change something, and for me the farm is the perfect place to change something in Camphill. To see in the evening what you did during the day with your hands is a great feeling and motivation for the next day.
|
|
|
David
I enjoy working outdoors and what motivates me is the fun of working in groups, and that there is always something different to do, rather than doing the same thing every day.
|
|
|
Roji
What inspires me to come to work every day is that through my work I am able to support my family. I feel privileged to work with, assist and supervise residents with completing daily tasks at the farm.

From Berlin through Cape Town back to Frankfurt
by Benjamin Wistuba
I've been living in Camphill for 8 months now as a volunteer. I've been a soccer fan for ages and I love watching the sport. But why? Because I like to play it, longer than being a fan or enjoying watching. Soccer was always a part of my journey. The first time I can remember was when I was in play school. We had a football area on the playground next to our nursery.
My second memory is going with my father to the park in Berlin, to play with him and his friends. We went with our bikes down the Spree, a river which runs through our city. I guess I didn’t take a big part as a 5 year old boy in between all those big guys but I enjoyed that time. Right after my first day at school I got these new, white, Adidas cleats shoes, with fleece on the inside. I went with them everywhere, to the playground, to the school and to my friends. I was always ready. Around that time I also got my first jersey at Christmas. It was from Argentina with Messi on the back. I was doing a lot of sports. I wore it till I looked like Arjen Robben as a belly dancer.
These days I play with the Camphill Village soccer team every week. We come together and play, we train and have fun. We keep each other fit and up. I’m not down at all when I’m just focusing on the moment and the people around me.
Last week, when I went to training at 7.00, I was told that we have some new football kit. After our match we went to the office and each of us actually got a brand new Eintracht jersey and shorts, that was awesome. Imagine my surprise to see a German football club kit, in South Africa. It made me happy, like it always has when I got something to do with football.
Eintracht Frankfurt are now playing in the semi-finals in the Europa League. Thank you Eintracht, and Good Luck!
We made a quick video to thank Eintracht for the kit - Click Here

Inspiration
by Masixole Madyungu
We are all on our journey in life to find happiness, to find fulfilment, love, place, and experience self-discovery. In life you have multiple opportunities but few are actually taken. Are you seizing the moments as they come?
While I was finding myself, I found a place that really inspires me, a place where reality is lived, a place with no judgement. Camphill is where I found and live my inspiration, extremely humbled by how I have been treated, valued and respected.
Maybe we've got to be as close as possible to the rhythm and realities of life to reach our realisation. Maybe a situation in life becomes easier and more beautiful when we can see the good in other people, and at that point people start to see good in us.
I was inspired by the candle that was lighted for me during my darkness. Then I learned to light a candle in the darkest moments of someone else’s life. Be the light that helps others see, it is what gives life its deepest significance. Maybe we all aspire to inspire.

Camphill’s Ladies Gym
by Delmaine Willemse
I’m always inspired by our residents, when they start something they are dedicated towards it. Last year we launched our new gym. Our residents were excited and didn’t think twice about joining. Our ladies’ gym class consists of 6 ladies and I asked some of them what inspired them to join the gym.
Tamsin
I like to Zumba, and that inspired me to join the gym. Zumba is like a 2 in 1 exercise, you get to dance and exercise and that is what keeps me motivated to stay at the gym.
Jessica C
I like to gym because that is what keeps me fit and I’m actually seeing the difference. I get to see the girls every week and exercising with them just makes things a lot easier. We also motivate each other a lot.
Jamie
Gym is just fun, it keeps me fit and I feel healthy. I can have fun with all the other gym ladies. I also like to Zumba, it’s like dancing and exercising at the same time.
Rosaline
I have a lot of fun at the gym. The passion we all have towards the gym is just amazing and that is what makes me come back each time. Concentrating is the most important thing and we see results each time.
Jessica F
Gym is good for the body. To keep fit is my first priority, I’ve been seeing the results and that is just motivating me to keep going. Gym is just FUN!

Women’s Gym
by Nina Oberzaucher
Every Monday and Thursday a group of women come together in our community centre to enjoy body movement through various gym activities including dance. Their ages range from their early twenties to seventies, all attending the group without fail. This group has further-reaching effects for its members than just fitness, and over time has proven to be an effective therapy tool for enhanced quality of life for these women.
As said by Lyall Watson ,“dancing is surely the most basic and relevant of all forms of expression. Nothing else can so effectively give outward form to inner experiences.” Working with a group of women living with intellectual and/or developmental disabilities, I have been witness to small transformations in all members of this group through dance.
Over time, I have seen improvements in rhythm, balance, strength, sense of the body in space, coordination, improved attention, mood and behaviour to name a few.
In addition to this, the gym class has become a space where the women support each other and care for each other, standing up for each other and sharing hugs, and missing members of the group when they are unable to join. The space is great for fostering social skills, connection and friendship. It is common for the group to have giggles, smiles and laughter while connecting with the body and each other. Those who are shy and struggle with self-confidence have started opening up with big smiles and outrageous dance moves.
For this group of adults, dance and movement is a great way to express emotions that are sometimes not expressed verbally and are stored in the body. Even women with limited mobility are benefitting in strength, balance and in integrating body movements.
Marrying sound and movement for a group of women has shown transformations that I have found truly inspirational. Mind, body and spirit have found an anchor in doing gym twice a week that also fosters social support and individual and group growth through dance.

Inspired by youth and fresh ideas
by Carine Human and Michelle Groth
We are fortunate to have Social Work students from the University of Stellenbosch doing their practical placements with us again this year. Five 3rd year ladies will be working with us every Thursday. They will practice all three modalities, i.e case work, group work and community work.
Social Work is a four year course. This honours degree provides you with advanced knowledge of the political, behavioural and social sciences. Without meeting these criteria one cannot register with the South African Council for Social Work Professions, or practice as a social worker. The profession is often misinterpreted as welfare or welfare work, rather than the formal, researched, scientific training it is. The degree includes three years of psychology and sociology amongst other subjects which may include philosophy, political science, various languages, religious studies, information studies, introduction to humanities, to name but a few, with the four years of social work as a main subject.
I am often amused when myself or a colleague is referred to, often by highly educated individual, as a ‘qualified social worker’, as if there are other types. We wish our five students all the best for this year and hope you have rich learning and experiences which will benefit your person, career and lives in fond memories.
Social Work Student Introductions:

Cornita Adams
I’m 24 and from Swellendam. I chose to study social work to assist people in need by providing adequate social services to meet their needs. I wish to apply my theory learned in class, to gain experience in providing services to people with intellectual disabilities. I hope to make an impact on the client system by improving their wellbeing.
|
|
|
Olorato Mothobi
I am 24 and from Kuruman, Northern Cape. Social work has long been a course I wanted to study. My interest is seeing how social surroundings affect the person inside. Helping people find and realise their potential is something I strongly believe in. I know what the feeling of not getting access to help can do to a person inside, so being someone who might find ways to prevent that would make me happy.
The university facilitated me coming to Camphill Village. I like it here. The place is very welcoming and helpful. The environment makes it easier to offer my intervention services to my client as required by my studies. I want to leave a sense of ubuntu (kindness). I would like to learn about people, interact where possible and to find more about my personal potential with regard to client working relationships.
|
|
|
Zizipho Notho
I am from Milnerton. I have found Camphill to be a very welcoming community. The energy is welcoming, kind and calm. I chose to study social work because I wanted to have an impact on other people’s lives. I’ve always wanted to lend a helping hand with social work. I feel I can do that.
|
|
|
Zukhanye Sogayise
I am 21 years old. I chose to study social work because I love the idea of sharing your ideas, issues, and struggles with people. I also like being there for people because I never had that while growing up and I think it's super important. I like the idea of helping people and I feel like social work is the best career to do that.
I didn't specifically choose to come to Camphill Village but I wouldn’t change the organisation for anything. The people here are very welcoming and generous and make sure that people feel very comfortable and welcomed. The residents are also very nice and welcoming.
I would like to learn about my capabilities as a person and a social worker. I want to learn what it is like to handle a client and what it requires of me as a future social worker. I would also like to learn the independence of attending to the client and managing a client.

Melissa Kirkman
I am 21 years old. From a young age I always knew that I wanted to help people. Growing up in Zimbabwe, I was constantly surrounded by vulnerable people that were in need of supportive help. I knew my purpose in life was to be someone that could do just that and so I decided to study social work at the University of Stellenbosch. Being placed at Camphill Village West Coast is such a blessing as I strongly believe it will equip me with an amazing experience that I can use as a foundation for my rendering of social services. I am looking forward to spending the year at this beautiful farm, with its amazing staff and beautiful residents and I know I will not have a better learning experience anywhere else.

What an outing...
by Heidi Keyser
On March 5th, me, my sister and her son, two old ladies and a boy were waiting on a platform in Somerset West to get on a tourist steam train that came from Cape Town. Once the train arrived we took some photos then we waited for them to show us where to sit. We got our seats at the window and it was beautiful looking out at the view. Every section has a person to make sure everyone is ok, there is a woman with a clipboard that made sure everyone got to their seats safe and sound. A waiter on the train can serve you with wine in beautiful glasses, snacks and coffee.
The train started to move and we were on our way. We started waving to the people outside who were looking at the train as it vanished into the thin air. We saw a whole different view of Sir Lowry's pass and Grabouw, we could see the ocean from a distance and it was beautiful. As the train approached the tunnel the walls got narrower and went into pitch black darkness. We were all scared but the train went out into the light again. When the train approached another tunnel it wasn't as bad as the first one.
At our destination we got off the train and went to a market for 2 hours, walking around and exploring, and we had a delicious pizza with coffee. There was lots to see at the market and we had a blast. Then we got back on the train, exhausted and sleepy. It was steep down and the brakes were screaming going down the hill.
You have to go on the train to experience what we all felt and feel it yourself. Just looking at the train as it left was beautiful and memorable. It is one of my favourite memories with my family.

Sponsor a Resident
by Janine Strumpher
We have embarked on a drive to find a sponsor for each resident who has no family or financial means. Without Camphill Village they would be on the streets where people with special needs are often victims of abuse and manipulation and at risk even within their own families and/or communities.
And without financial assistance we cannot continue providing this place of safety.
Living at Camphill Village West Coast gives people with intellectual disability the chance to live a full, creative and fulfilled life, to develop their abilities and contribute to their community. The life that we take for granted, is for many a gift. However we can only do this when financial support is found for the individuals.
If you can help, or know of Individuals or Companies we can approach please contact Janine Strumpher on 021 571 8600 or e-mail fundraiser@camphill.org.za
Take a break from your busy day and watch this beautiful slideshow about life at Camphill - https://youtu.be/B3BQ8PmMZuY
