FRINGE FACTS Did you know? Fringes originated from the Native American tribes who created garments with fringes to repel rainwater from soaking them as they rode across the prairies. Then in 1920 the Flapper Era made fringes an fashion icon with those famous fringed dance dresses. Finally the hippie era snapped up this fabulous fringe craze and made it their own. Now you can have fun with fringes!

Die somer is hier en buitelug-onthaal is (uiteindelik) aan die orde van die dag. Probeer gerus hierdie oulike idee wanneer jy vir jou gaste (of die kinders) iets soet en speels wil voorsit. JY BENODIG: • Glasflesse • Gom • ‘n plastiekdiertjie • Spuitverf (wenk: wat van wit, goud of silwer vir die grootmense?) • Lekkers of speelgoed om die flesse te vul
WAT OM TE DOEN: • Verwyder enige papier of gom wat dalk op die fles is • Plak die plastiekdiertjie op die deksel vas • Wanneer dit droog is, spuit die deksel en diertjie met spuitverf. Laat dit dan goed droog word en herhaal nog twee keer. • Vul jou flesse en voila!

HEALTH
Safe blood saves lives. Every day thousands of people would die if others did not donate their blood. By donating blood, you are giving a patient something money cannot buy.
BLOOD DONATION (Source: South African National Blood Service, Health24.com)
A single blood donation can equal three gifts of life, as nearly every blood donation is separated into red blood cells, plasma and platelets.
•
The majority of transfusions are given to: Women who hemorrhage as a complication of pregnancy;Children with severe anemia; Accident victims; and surgical and cancer patients. By donating blood you make a difference.
•
WHY IS THERE SUCH A DEMAND FOR DONOR BLOOD? The huge number of traffic accidents over the holidays creates a high demand for donor blood. Right? Wrong. the interesting thing is that traffic accidents have little impact on the demand for donor blood. While there is only a slight increase in demand for donor blood over holidays, there is also a corresponding decrease in elective surgery during these times. So the demand for donated blood remains pretty steady all-year round. Blood usage in South Africa is more or less at a plateau, but slight increases are visible as the population increases. WHO CAN DONATE BLOOD? Anyone who is over 17, weighs at least 50 kilograms and who has not donated blood in the preceding 56 days, who is healthy, not anemic, not on certain types of medication, or whose social behavior does not place them at an increased risk of transmitting the HI-virus or a hepatitis virus. People who have recently travelled to malaria areas are usually also excluded. THE DONATION PROCESS Donating blood is a safe and simple procedure that takes about 30 minutes. All needles are new, sterile, used only once and incinerated after use. But many people are still uncertain as to exactly what happens when you donate blood. This is how the actual donation process works: • You will complete a donor questionnaire that
•
• • • •
includes your personal details; You will answer questions regarding your health and social behavior; You will undergo a one-on-one interview with a staff member following the questions you answered on the donor questionnaire; Your iron (hemoglobin) level will be checked and your blood pressure and pulse rate will be taken; During the donation process you will donate one unit of blood (480ml), which your body will quickly replace; and You will receive refreshments to aid in replacing lost fluid. After donating, eat well and increase your fluid intake for the next four to six hours. Do not smoke for at least 30 minutes. Also avoid strenuous physical exertion and lifting heavy objects with the arm used for making the donation for at least two hours afterwards.
WHERE YOU CAN DONATE BLOOD You’ve decided you want to donate blood, but you don’t know where to go. The South African National Blood Service can be contacted at www.sanbs.org.za or by phoning the toll free number 0800 11 9031 for a list of locations in your area. SIX TOP EXCUSES FOR NOT DONATING BLOOD Here are the top six excuses people give for not being a blood donor. • I am afraid of the needle. This is quite understandable, but after you make that first donation, you will wonder why you ever hesitated. • Other people are giving enough blood. Unfortunately, less than one percent of the population give blood, which means that the majority of South Africans do not donate and there is always a need to recruit donors. • My blood isn’t the right type. Regular donations of all blood types are needed. • I had an illness. Discuss this with the trained clinic staff who will give you the right advice.
•
• I don’t have enough blood to spare.; The average adult body contains approximately five litres of blood and a donation is only 480ml. It will hurt and I will faint. A slight pinch on the inside of your arm is all that you will feel and if you have had something substantial to eat in the four hours prior to donating, you should be fine.
TOP 10 BLOOD FACTS You hardly ever see your blood, yet it is the very thing that keeps you going. Here are some interesting facts on blood: The average adult man has about five to six litres of blood in his body, while the average woman has about four. Your blood makes up about 7% of your total body weight. About 95% of the body’s blood cells are made in bone marrow. There are approximately 1 billion red blood cells in two to three drops of blood. There are three types of blood cells: Red blood cells, white blood cells and platelets, all of which float around in plasma. The blood that you donate can be separated into these constituent parts. Your body usually replaces the volume of the blood you donate within 24 hours. Restoring red blood cell levels to normal can take up to two months though. Whole blood has a shelf-life of 35 days. Red blood cells last 42 days, platelets only five days and plasma up to one year. The most common blood type is O positive, while AB negative is the rarest. People with AB blood can receive any kind of blood from a donor, while O negative blood can be given to anyone. Scientists recently managed to change type A and B blood into type O. If this process can one day be done on a large scale, it would go a long way to alleviating the persistent shortage of blood. If you are healthy, you will be eligible to donate blood up to 330 times in your life.

ECO CLUB ADOPT PENGUINS Our Eco Club pupils adopted two penguins this month!! Festivas, an African Penguin was found stranded on Van Stadens Beach in December 2013. Festivas is the first penguin in the world to test a new system of tracking. A”pinger” was attached to his chest when he was released, but unfortunately due to an injured leg
and annual moulting, he headed straight back to SAMREC where he is still cared for. De Souza was found at Hobie Beach in January 2014. He had a serious cut on his back caused by a speedboat and unfortunately his feathers have not grown back in that area and he now resides at SAMREC.

LEERDERRAADSKAMP
Op 28 Augustus 2015 het 43 leerders en 3 onderwysers na die UBU-Adventures kampterrein by Elandsrivier vertrek. Die doel van die kamp was om die leerders meer oor leierskap en leierseienskappe te leer. Daar was verskillende aktiwiteite wat elke keer ‘n sekere eienskap van leiers aangespreek het. Behalwe die fisieke uitdagings wat die
leerders moes deurmaak, was daar ook die ongerief om vir twee dae sonder elektrisiteit en selfoonsein te wees. Die leerders (en onderwysers) het die kamp baie geniet en beslis baie geleer! Ons bedank die UBU-Adventures vir ‘n suksesvolle en onvergeetlike naweek.
