Exciting News
UNDERCOVER AT THE DARLING CLUB ROCKING OUR DARLINGS On Saturday 5 May, 100 Darling residents supported an event organised by Darling SPAR in aid of The Darling Trust’s charitable programs and projects. A massively welcome R6, 900 was raised! Thank you to Darling SPAR and of course to all our darling Darlings who supported this fundraiser. DJ Hermie offered his Saturday evening for free to make sure the dancing never stopped! The band ‘Undercover’ came all the way from Swellendam to rock Darling’s socks off and succeeded! Este Nel & Johan Beukes alongside The Team: Omnia Grobler, Francois Nel, John Duckitt and Megan Williams, made sure all was in place, the ambience set and the steaks done to everyone’s preference. CONGRATULATIONS! Thanks to Darling SPAR for sponsoring all the food, which helped keep the costs low! And of course, THANK YOU Kevin Kriel for having a Birthday with lots of friends who also supported the event.

Darlings Got Talent

A star studded, sold out event boasting local talent from all corners of Darling! A wonderful turnout on the evening of 'Friday the 13th' – the support from family, friends and the Darling community was heart-warming and inspiring! This being the 10th Talent Show, all were transported to ‘Hollywood’ right here at Evita se Perron, feeling like super stars with an audience who couldn’t hold back on their applause for the exceptionally brave and talented contestants of ‘Darling’s got Talent’. Thank you DARLING for your consistent support and well done to all the contestants - YOU ARE ALL WINNERS! The generous sponsorship from local businesses and residents for the prizes was overwhelming and massively appreciated - you are all ultimately helping The Darling Trust make the dream of a better life, a reality for all.

Film and photography by Edward The Talent Show - 'Darling's got Talent' is one of The Darling Trust's many projects - targeted at the Darling Youth as a 'life skills' program, creating a platform for providing the youth with energetic and positive activity, building confidence, harnessing and developing hidden talents. There is a lack of activity for the youth during school holidays and The Talent Show caters for all age groups from all schools and church groups in Darling and surrounds – this event provides an opportunity for all individuals and groups to show-case anything they’d like to perform, share through music (dance, song, playing) and self-expression (poetry, drama, story telling) The goal is to motivate and assist these individuals to take their talent further, thereby cultivating a belief in themselves!
Puppet World and Amy in Darling
Friday 20th April was a wonderful day of fantasy for Evita's Darlings thanks to Amy bringing 'Puppet World' to the children of Darling. It was a gorgeous day filled with marching ants, dancing and listening to the friendly puppets who each had a story to tell. Thank you Amy and The Lindbergh Foundation for visiting and entertaining our Darlings - our children haven't stopped talking about that special day!
