Freedom Explored
by James Sleigh

Inspired by Freedom Day (27th April) we thought the theme of "Freedom" would be fitting for this newsletter. Freedom is a broad term, and within this theme we discussed - what does it mean to be free, to live freely, and what support do we need to feel free. 

Most of the residents who come to Camphill have the opportunity to experience many levels of freedom - freedom to make choices, freedom to choose friends they like, freedom to work and contribute to their livelihood.

Many people living with disabilities need to be encouraged to take steps towards feeling free, and be supported in doing this. By slowing down and really hearing them and their needs, we can assist.

Similarly each one of us also regularly needs to consciously remind ourselves that we are, or can be free. We need to create the space in our lives to do things that make us feel alive and free, to surround ourselves with people who support us and understand this need. Then we are able to refuel ourselves.

I was strongly reminded of this last month when I was fortunate to go on a mountain biking trip though the Cederberg with three friends. The sun, the outdoors, rugged rock formations, and exercise were, for me, a perfect experience to help me reset and find inner strength again. 

It is easy to believe that taking time to find what makes us feel alive and free is an indulgence. I am realising more and more, with our staff, our residents, and with associates, that with the stresses of the modern day, it is in fact a necessity! 

If it is taken from us, or when we are not able to exercise it, then we really see how valuable it is. It is best to keep exercising our access to freedom while we can.

One of the villages we cycled through was Wupperthal, in the Cederberg. Wupperthal was founded in 1830, by two German missionaries, one of them being the grandfather of C. Louis Leipoldt. The village developed a tannery, glove and shoe factory, and became well known for its "veldskoen". The family of one our marketing team, Delmaine, originates from there. See her story below...

Freedom is a state of mind
by Max

We often get stuck in our daily life. We carry negativity, oppression, drama, stress and anxiety in work, and we get stuck with unsolved problems, struggling to find the pattern of peace. Maybe that influences our state of mind to not feel free; but perhaps we are only not free until we choose to take it. 

Freedom is a state of mind that we can choose to experience in any given circumstances. We always have a choice to be free, and when we are in this state of mind it's easy to filter those negativities, stresses and anxieties, maybe because a free mind is the best friend of a solution. 

As I look back on my past, I am inspired by own self. The path I have carved, the challenges I have overcome, the darkness I have owned, and the love I continue to share unconditionally, that freedom of mind carries me beautifully and peacefully. I suppose it goes hand to hand with positivity.

In today’s world, we are not truly free because we are restricted by jobs, money, debts, fears, and other physical limitations. Living under such conditions, it is easy for our minds to wander and think how great life would be if only we had true freedom, or more freedom, and say to ourselves - if we had this or that, we could do as we please. 
 
We can be inspired by the likes of Nelson Mandela, Martin Luther King and Desmond Tutu, they will tell you the free can conquer everything.

Sandboarding on the Atlantis Dunes
by Max

It's all in your mind - choose to be positive and you can go forward! It was a wise person who once said, “True freedom is impossible without a mind made free by discipline.”

The Gym Team were offered an incentive - if they met the fitness goals they set for themselves, they would be taken sandboarding. A big thank you goes to the Marketing team for making the day possible by sanding and polishing all the boards to start with, and making sure our team was safe and enjoying Atlantis Dunes.

Straight from the team:

Eckard - Did feel amazing, awesome, fun and enjoyable, I had lots of excitement and it was a good new experience. Thank you to the organizers. 

Freddy - I had fun with the sandboarding and it was really a good day. 

Rikus - The dunes were very great for me, I really loved it very much and It was great fun. Maybe one day we can go again and maybe Elma can break Janine's sandboarding record. Thanks to Max, Janine and James. 
Sandra
My name is Sandra ... through the eyes of Janine
by Janine Strumpher

Hi my name is Sandra and I live in Camphill Village, I am beautiful and love the finer things in life. I was blessed with the gift of sight and by this I mean I can see things that other people cannot. It is a blessing and a curse, because it can make me very happy and also very sad. I speak a unique language; a language no one understands. Although you don’t always understand me, believe me I understand you. I see you in a deep way and can see who you are and whether you are a good person.

I live in Camphill, where I am free. I am free to be who I am, free to walk where I want to, and free to do a job I enjoy. No one can prepare and cut vegetables for meals as fast as I can. I enjoy the open spaces; the freedom the Village provides me. I am accepted and loved for exactly who I am by all who work and live here, and visit here.

I was blessed with beauty, born a princess in my world. I love always looking my best, I love beautiful clothes, make-up, all make-up with a special preference for lipstick. My hair must at all times be funky and perfect. Pink is my colour, the colour of all that is feminine. I love jewellery, a lovely handbag and please let there always be “green papers” in my purse.

So next time you walk past me, know that I see you and know who you are. And please know, my utmost favourite thing is receiving presents, looking beautiful and being social.
Lion's Head Adventure
Lion's Head adventure
by Janine Strumpher

In the spirit of health and adventure, our marketing team set off early on Saturday morning to climb Lion's Head. It was the perfect morning, cool, clear, in spite of predictions of rain. For some, it was their first time to climb the mountain. It was so wonderful to experience the positivity of everyone on the mountain - passing us on the way up and down. The effects of being out on a crisp morning reflects on everyone faces, and one could experience everyone embracing their freedom. It was a great team building experience - always wonderful to push ourselves.
Covid-19 Talk
Vaccinations - navigating through the maze of information
by James Sleigh

As the vaccination rollout now gets underway in South Africa after two stunted starts, the media is filled with stories about vaccinations, dangers of side effects, and it is really hard for us to know the truth. So many people claim to be specialists, so many theories and stories are circulating, so much information is created from who knows where, and we all try our best to filter what we hear, and compare this to what we believe to be logic and common sense. 

We were fortunate to have an expert in the field of immunology come and talk to all our staff. Professor Elisa Nemes is working in vaccination trials at the University of Cape Town. For the last 10 years, she and her team have been working on developing a vaccination for TB.

This was a wonderful opportunity to ask questions to someone working first hand with vaccinations, who could explain in a very simple way how the different vaccinations work. As well as to get a better understanding of what the Covid virus does within our bodies, and how best to strengthen and support ourselves during this pandemic.

Our staff and residents are now more equipped to make an informed choice on how best to protect themselves.
Movie night
Movie night
by Francinah

Lockdown has divided us for a long time now. All the big events that were planned for this year, unfortunately had to be cancelled due to COVID-19 restrictions. Residents were upset at the news and found it challenging to accept the cancellation of Camphill’s events. The Health and Well-being team tried their best to help them understand and stay entertained; house activities were encouraged. However, the residents expressed that they would love a movie night  - keeping in mind all COVID-19 restrictions.

On 21st May 2021, Camphill hosted their first movie night for the year - giving residents an opportunity to come out of their houses and reconnect with other residents in a happy space. It was a great pleasure seeing happiness written all over their faces. They have requested a movie night at least twice a month. 

A very big thanks to all those who donated dvd's, they will be put to good use!
New Residents
Free your mind to welcome change
by Francinah Mahlomuza

Freedom means many different things to different people. By definition freedom refers to a state of independence where people can do whatever they want/like without any restriction by anyone.

At Camphill Village West Coast, we value the lives of our residents and appreciate their contribution towards the Village, making sure every resident freely enjoys their right to freedom. Our aim is to develop the lives of people who need care services and support for daily living, by building a purposeful “life-sharing” community where the spiritual integrity of each person is maintained. Our mission is to accommodate intellectually challenged adults in a safe and comforting environment and empower them to live full and worthy lives, which contribute towards their growth.

This month we welcomed three new residents into our community. I spoke to one of them to find out how he is enjoying his new environment:

'So far, the time I have spent here, I learned a lot. I learnt going to the shop to buy things for myself. At home I was not able to go to the shop alone because it was very far and not safe. I like my Group Home Leader and I am looking forward to being in Camphill for a longer time.'

A very big thanks to all the families, and to the new residents for trusting Camphill Village West Coast in taking care of them, for going outside their homes with an open mind to try a new things and explore the outside world.
Mother's Day
Mother's Day - the special opportunity to show gratitude
by Carine Human

This year only a couple of our residents were able to spend Mother's Day at home to spoil their moms. Many were unable to celebrate Mother's Day with their moms as Covid is still a threat. Others have elderly mothers living in care or old age facilities, where they sadly cannot be visited. Then, we have a few residents who no longer have their own moms. Our amazingly caring Group Home Leaders are the closest they have to a loving, supporting and guiding motherly figure and, on Mother's Day, they usually make an effort to spoil them. 

Jennien, a very sweet-hearted resident, took all her courage to approach Talita, our Financial Manager, asking for some of her pocket money to secretly buy her GHL, Ninja, a little something. This was admirably bold, going through the protocols to arrange such a meeting and request! (Usually it’s the GHL who gives out pocket money.) She asked me to buy Ninja her favourite Lindt chocolates, and for social worker Carine a beautiful coffee mug and two little pots of delicious flavoured coffee.

She delivered it on that Sunday morning in a beautiful gift pack, along with a beautifully expressive hand-written letter of gratitude. This brought tears to my eyes and again made me realise that our calling here does not go unseen or unappreciated. It is delightful to know that to some we are their family and they accept and appreciate us as theirs. This is what being a Village is all about.
Grange House
Grange House – A safe place to rest
by Lise Muller

Walking away from Grange, my main thoughts were that at the end of the day the only things that really matter are love, empathy and friendship, sprinkled with a lot of laughter, song and dance.  

Grange is a home filled with love; it feels like Salama has covered the house with a protective blanket to make sure that everyone is happy and safe.  Although Grange is home to many of the oldest residents in Camphill, the individuality and independence of each person is fiercely protected and encouraged.  

Helen sat quietly in her wheelchair dozing and listening to us chatting.  Salama walked across and put her hand on her shoulder and asked her to tell us a story.  It was like a light bulb went on, Helen sat up, looked straight at us and told us that she was going to tell us a story about love and quiet.  She was clear, articulate and happy, and when she was done she dozed off again.  Everyone in the room was given a chance to tell their stories and talked about how Camphill has given them the opportunity to live independent lives that are rich in many happy memories.

Barbara is another resident in Grange – she was the first bride in Camphill.  She married Peter wearing a pale blue dress and a pair of dainty ballet shoes.  They were married in the Camphill Chapel and this opened the chapter for more residents that fell in love to commit to one another.   

Salama says that she knew from the time that she was a young girl that she wanted to care for elderly people and children.  She worked at Netcare for a number of years and loved spending time with the patients, showering them with love and compassion.  One of the nurses noticed her dedication to the patients and suggested that she do a Caregiving course. Luckily for us she ended up joining Camphill.  Her empathy, special care and happy attitude with the residents came to Renate’s attention.  She heard Salama and Patrick singing together at the top of their voices at bath time and when the opportunity became available Salama moved into a house-mother role.  She has one son and two grandsons that she loves to bits, and she says that the people in the house are all her part of her family.  

We are very thankful to have such a wonderful house-mother working at Camphill who goes out of her way to embrace and support each resident according to their individual needs, and also respects their need to be free, independent spirits.
Mothers
Mothers of the Village
by Francinah Mahlomuza

Official definitions of “mother” range from one who “gives birth to a child”, to adoptive and stepmothers. Being a mother means to watch over, love, nourish and protect your child. This means that every woman has the capacity to be a mother, whether they have given birth or not. 

Being a mother is arguably the hardest and most rewarding job in the world. This is testimony to all of our Group Home Leaders and other mothers who are the primary caregivers for persons with disabilities. Great lovely mothers of the village!

I would like to honour and appreciate all our Camphill mothers, and other mothers out there, who care for their biological children and family members, as well as those who transition into the caregiver’s role. I would define them as an emblem of love, kindness, mercy, care, commitment, peace, selfless, hardworking, and superwoman to both the residents and the staff.

I asked the group home leaders how they experienced Mother's Day. Here are some responses: 

Locadia - “We had a special lunch that l prepared! I was promised breakfast in bed but it never happened, although l received messages from some family members. It is very special for me to have that role as a mother of all. I am thankful that Camphill made it possible, and it is a safe space without any fear”

Engela - "All Malachite's residents wished me well on Mother's Day. I cooked a special lunch. They spoilt me with hand-picked flowers, a beautiful card and a little soap. Throughout the day they showed their appreciation, assisting me with house tasks, and special hugs. Hendrik and Karin invited me for afternoon tea with lovely snacks at their place. Mothers' Day was very special and I am really grateful to the residents for making it such an enjoyable day.”

Euritah - “We prepared a nice meal. I have no better words to explain how happy and grateful I am to be the group home leader. The residents treated me very special. Roehan gave me a Mother’s Day gift. Leenkie wrote me a very nice message. All residents were happy. It is a blessing to be given a safe space like Camphill to help those in need.”

Salama - “My Mother's Day was very special because my residents gave me cards and flowers. They made them very special and I was very touched by their effort and love shown to me, even though some of them are like mothers to me. We had a special house lunch. Unfortunately I had to leave them and take one of my residents to the hospital. Despite this, I still felt happy to be able to be a mother figure and be there at the hospital for him, to show motherly love, care and support.  Yes, Camphill is a safe space for a woman to practice a role of being a mother. I am very grateful for that.” 

A big honour goes out to all the Mothers – past, present and future. Your role is vital to the world. You all are amazing, and we are grateful and blessed to have mothers like you in our communities. The work you are doing makes me believe more in Alziro Zarur’s saying, “The children are children of all the mothers, and the mothers are mothers of all the children.” And also, the saying that “It takes a village to raise a child.

To all mothers, please take care – and always be yourself, We love you!
Nurses
Nurses Day
by Janine Strumpher

What is a nurse: “Nursing encompasses collaborative and autonomous care of individuals of all ages, families, groups and communities, sick or well and in all settings. Nursing includes the prevention of illness, promotion of health, and the care of ill, disabled and dying people.”

I consulted the meaning and yes it is a mouthful, but I think the most valuable asset of a nurse is HEARTFUL. We have been blessed by two super nurses, Sister Sheryl and Sister Pikkie, who are the backbone and hearts of our Health & Wellbeing team. This is not a job, it is a calling, available 24/7, a door that never closes. There is always someone in need of a plaster, a pill, a sympathetic ear, a broad shoulder, someone who can comfort and assist you in time of loss, or calm you and guide you in your final hour.

We salute our two super nurses and all the nurses in the world. When others run away, especially in current times, they run towards, no matter what the ailment/symptoms. And they do this with courage, strength and a bright comforting smile.
Grounded visits Camphill
Grounded Visits Camphill
by Lise Muller

Grounded is launching a new online sales platform for ethically cultivated and sustainably wild-harvested ingredients in May 2021. We were thrilled to welcome two representatives from their company, Eric and Ceferino who came to visit our jojoba plantation at Camphill to learn more about how this crop is grown.
 
They were happy to find the jojoba well-suited to the sandy soils where it has been established at Camphill and to see that it is cultivated without any chemical applications. They are looking at offering jojoba oil from Camphill on their website and will be supporting Camphill on potentially improving yields through additional care and the implementation of regenerative methods like intercropping to improve soil health.

This is a great opportunity for Camphill to grow our footprint across Africa and eventually into the European markets. So a big thanks to Grounded for choosing us as their Jojoba Oil supplier. https://grounded.co.za
Branding update
Camphill is forever greening
by Lise Muller

We are thrilled to announce that we have upgraded our branding!  We have changed the font size to make it easier to read and added artwork that details clearly what herbs/essential oils have been used in each product.  We will be packaging our soap in brown paper to move away from plastic. 
 
Our cosmetics are produced using only the purest high grade essential oils and raw material, and integrate our farm-grown herbs such as lavender, rosemary and geranium. The products we make cover a wide range of massage oils, deodorants, soaps and our own Jojoba Oil products.

Winter is on the way and it is the perfect time to snuggle up in bed with a favourite hot drink and a lovely homemade rusk.  We have repackaged our rusks in eco-friendly, re-sealable kraft pouch bags.  Our assortment of Butter, Rye and Country Rusks are made daily by the residents working in the bakery team under the guidance of Max.

We have also repackaged our delicious, wholesome granola made with oats, sunflower and sesame seeds (the raisins are packed separately to cater for individual tastes).  
Rebranding
Brushing up our branding
by Lise Muller

Talisa is the Cape Town-based  graphic designer who has been helping us upgrade our packaging. She tells us more - 

"I was contacted by Camphill to freshen up their existing packaging for their wide range of products. I was excited as I love to take existing artwork, modernize it, and give a business a brand new look to reflect the great products they are selling. 

Talking to Lise, I learned more about the products and my interest was especially sparked by the Jojoba products and all their benefits. They sent me a few products to try out, and WOW, I am impressed! 

First of all - the Jojoba products smell so nice and herbal, reminding me of the oils they use in spas. That's not even the best part, their products are not filled with fragrances or any extra ingredients which can dry out or irritate skin. I am definitely adding these products to my daily skin routine. 
 
I also tried the muesli that they sent me, nice and toasty with an added sachet of raisins to ensure your raisins are soft and fresh and not hard and dried out (smart!) It is the perfect on-the-go breakfast with no added sugar and naturally wheat free - great for my gluten sensitive self. I cannot wait to try all the other products Camphill has to offer. Thank you for the opportunity to work with you and rebrand your labels, I am enjoying every minute of it! "
Animal Freedom
Animal freedom
by Viwe

There are five freedoms that all animals under human care should have:

Freedom from hunger and thirst – by ready access to water and diet to maintain health and vigour.

Freedom from pain, injuries or disease – by prevention or rapid diagnosis and treatment.

Freedom to express normal behaviour – by providing sufficient space, proper facilities and company of the animal’s own kind.

Freedom from discomfort – by providing appropriate environment including shelter and comfortable resting area.

Freedom from fear and distress – by ensuring conditions and treatment which avoid mental suffering.

For me, happy animals are what farming is all about. They enjoy running, playing and, more than anything, foraging for their own food and sustenance. Freedom to roam and explore makes them happy. Without it, they can become sad and depressed just like humans do. This may result in a decrease in animals’ production.

Our Camphill Village farm has about twenty big fields which are used for grazing and planting to produce our own organic feed mix for our dairy herd. Every morning after milking, we walk the ladies to one of our grazing camps and make sure they have access to drinking water. Later in the afternoon we take them back to the night camp where we feed them our self-produced organic feed mix.
Wupperthal
Home Is Where The Heart Is (Wupperthal)
by Delmaine Willemse

I was born and raised in a small town called Chatsworth off the N7 between Malmesbury and Cape Town, but a little town in the beautiful Cederberg Mountains called Wupperthal has crept deep into my heart. When I am on my way there I tell people I am going home.

My Godparents, who are my mother’s best friends, live in Wupperthal, so my parents visit the town a lot. When I was younger it was my least favourite outing. Not only was the road too long and quite scary at times, there was no cell phone reception. As a teenager this was a huge turn off for me. When my parents planned a trip there I preferred to stay at home with my grandparents and when I had no choice but to go along I would never tell my friends where I was going. I thought they might tease me since it was nothing like a luxury visit to Cape Town.

As I grew older, I realised that the drive is not really that long and to reach our destination after driving the “scary” road just proves how gracious God is. I also realised that the bad cell phone reception is a blessing in disguise. My father’s description of Wupperthal has always been that it is the only place that his body, mind, spirit and soul can rest without any disturbances, this finally resonated with me.

Wupperthal is just one word, PHENOMENAL. The town is beautiful, still in its most natural form unlike many similar towns that have been developed. The community’s personalities match the beauty of their surroundings. They are welcoming, humble, caring and respectful. In Afrikaans you would say “sout van die aarde tipe mense” translated into English as salt of the earth - good people.

In 2018 a wildfire spread through the town and many houses were damaged. On my visit last week I was glad to note that the rebuilding of these houses was almost done and families are looking forward hopefully to spending Christmas 2021 in their own homes.
 
People tend to look down on these little towns, but I urge you to visit Wupperthal or any of these small, sometimes never heard of before towns. They are filled with healing for your soul and body and I am sure that the town’s beauty and people will creep into your heart and will have you going back every time you need a break. You will then also have the pleasure of saying “I am going home.”
Earwax
Alas... Ear wax! Residents hearing freely
by Nina Oberzaucher

During May, we were visited by audiologist Veena and her colleague and medical officer specializing in ENT, Shavina, from Somerset Hospital. They spent a whole morning with us checking 24 of our residents’ ear health, including the examination of the external auditory canal, tympanic membrane and the middle ear (otoscopy) for signs of inflammation, perforation and ear wax!

We are so grateful for their outreach work with us, making their service more accessible to the residents – no long drives into Cape Town and waiting in line to be seen at the hospital. For the Health & Wellbeing team, the knowledge shared between health professionals has meant a great deal of learning on both sides. One thing stood out for us in particular, we were surprised at the infrequency of self-report on ear pain or wax build up by residents. This is a common occurrence in people with intellectual disabilities, attributed to their difficulties with language and communication.

We ask you, the reader, to pay special attention to sensory impairments (hearing and visual) when it comes to a loved one living with intellectual disability. Get their hearing and vision tested, preferably by a specialist who has experience in working with people with intellectual disabilities. Adults with intellectual disabilities are much more likely to have sensory impairments. 

Sometimes those who care for persons with ID perceive the person as non-cooperative, when in reality they just cannot hear or see properly. Some persons with ID cover up their sensory loss, making detection even more confusing for caregivers. Often changes in behaviour are attributed to the persons intellectual disability or to mental illness rather than sensory impairment, and the underlying problems are not addressed (Kiani & Miller, 2010). 

Carers or family may say or think things like:

Hearing issues

According to the International Association for the Scientific Study of Intellectual Disabilities (2002), screening for visual and hearing loss in people with intellectual disability should start at age 45 and be repeated every 5 years after. Age and frequency of screening can vary depending co-occurring health conditions or syndromes (Kiani & Miller, 2010).

    Startled by people approaching who are not in sight
    Preference for television/radio to be on louder than normal

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
