New equipment
These four Cloetesville club members were very excited about their new boards and have literally been skating every single day during the school holidays!
Cloetesville new members
We had some new members join our Cloetesville club. As you can see on the photo, the tennis courts are not ideal for skating. We are still waiting on the local municipality to finalize and approve our application for building the new skatepark.
New I2B Cloach
Grant is one of Inspired2Become's first club members and has been part of the team for approximately 5 years. Recently Grant decided to help out with coaching the skaters at the I2B Kleinvlei club.
Bowl progress
Slowly but surely the bowl is starting to take shape. This is what the progress looks like so far:
Rainy skim days
When the rain interrupts our skimboarding sessions, we opt for the next best thing - coffee!
Damien's new board
Damien is super stoked about his new skimboard. Thanks to Andrew Greybe from GREYB Skim for the support.

Unashamedly Ethical Awards 2016
We had an amazing evening during this event and I feel privileged to have been awarded for making an impact in the community.

Some of I2B's athletes and some of The Ark's children (where Thabo Dube is involved) joined the Impact All Ability leadership camp.
Eurotrip 2016 Continue
We are privileged to train and race in Europe for 5 weeks.
Here we are taking an ICE bath!
We had time for a braai at Charl's brother in London - it really felt like home away from home!
We attended the Anniversary Games in the London Paralympic Stadium.
We also celebrated my coach, Suzanne's, birthday. Thank you Suzanne for your selfless love - we appreciate you!
Enrico March
Enrico is a former I2B athlete and I went to visit him just before we went overseas. It is amazing to see how his life has changed!
Educational Therapy by Jami
Educational material
After hearing about the room at Raithby School that got vandalized, Monique van Staden felt it on her heart to donate some educational material she is not using anymore. Below is just a few of the things she has donated. Thank you so much for your kind heart, Monique, and for also seeing the need of others and of our children.
Therapy continues
At the end of the second term I formally assessed certain identified learners who might have to be placed in other schools. I also continued with therapy as usual.
The children at Raithby are such a lovable bunch. They are inquisitive and eager to learn - this makes therapy so much easier and so much fun!
