Garden Route Birds of Prey Rehab Centre has an active rescue and rehabilitation focus of all raptors in the Garden Route area. When admitted, all birds or animals receive a thorough examination to assess their overall condition. If severely injured or poisoned, they receive veterinary treatment. Then quarantined and treated till they recover. During the recovery process, Garden Route Birds of Prey Rehab Centre house and train all the birds. Once they are fully recovered, the birds return to the wild. Unfortunately not all the birds get to return to the wild. These birds will stay at the rehab center and aid in the education and raising awareness surrounding Human-Wildlife conflict.     What is a “Bird of Prey”?

  Carpe Musicam! is a George community-based Orchestra. Offering high-standard Orchestral and Choral music throughout the Garden Route Region on a regular basis since 2015. Initiated from a dream of 2 musical partners Elsabe Barkhuizen and Norman Carless, to create a safe, fun, and educational space for the young (and the not-so-young musicians) to learn the art of orchestral playing. Between themselves, they play more than 8 musical instruments and have more than 80 years of experience in professional musical performances. Together with a core of experienced musicians, they tutor amateur instrumentalists to become more skillful players. Every piece of music is specifically arranged and orchestrated with an eye to the instrumentation and to each player’s skills. Furthermore, believing that practical musicianship is worth much more than the ability to win prizes at music competitions, or excel at examinations. Thus, the ability to sit down in front of previously unseen music in an unfamiliar group of musicians, and to have the calm confidence to give a good account of oneself is the real test of any musician. Carpe Musicam! is an NPO and all players perform voluntarily. Ticket sales just about cover general overheads. Therefore sponsorships are always welcome – […]
