Subject: WREATH-LAYING ON ROBBEN ISLAND / KRANSLEGGING OP ROBBENEILAND

TO ALL MEMBERS / AAN ALLE LEDE (AFRIKAANSE WEERGAWE HIERONDER)


As World Leprosy Day is observed internationally on 31 January or the nearest Sunday, we would like to know which other members would be interested in laying an own wreath on Sunday morning 29 January 2012 in the Remainder of the Patients' Graveyard on Robben Island in memory of a "leprous" predecessor or predecessors detained on Our Island. You can make your own wreath by using a piece of wire or cane and inter alia lovely bougainvillea branches or flowering bluegum branches. Should the ferry be out of order, we'll lay the wreaths at another site like we did when observing World Mental Health Day in October last year. Please let us know by not later than this coming Sunday in order that we can arrange with RIM on Monday and add your name to the list at the bottom of this email.

Aangesien Wêreldmelaatsheidsdag jaarliks op 31 Januarie of die Sondag die naaste daaraan gedenk word, verneem ons graag of enige ander lede daarin belangstel om op Sondagoggend 29 Januarie 2012 'n eie krans in die Restant van die Pasiëntebegraafplaas op Robbeneiland te gaan lê ter nagedagtenis van 'n "melaatse" voorsaat of voorsate wat op Robbeneiland aangehou is. 'n Eie krans kan gemaak word met behulp van 'n stuk bloudraad of rottang en onder andere pragtige bougainvillea-takke of 'n tak met mooi bloekomblomme. As die veerboot buite werking sou wees, sal ons die kranse op 'n ander terrein gaan lê. Laat weet ons groot asseblief nie later nie as eerskomende Sondag 22 Januarie sodat ons Maandag met die Robbeneilandmuseum se bestuur kan reël en jou naam op die lys hieronder kan byvoeg.
