“We were delighted to receive this beautiful work of art from one of our partners, Justin Duckitt, in Nieu Bethesda,” said Bernie Dolley, managing director and founder of Ikhala Trust.
The trust commemorates its 20th anniversary this year. Their logo is a huge aloe, and their vision, “Money follows good things”, is well known by all NPOs and community projects that have benefitted from their grants.
Dolley takes charge of training, as well as facilitating many workshops every year, and many small towns have benefitted from training and funding by Ikhala Trust.
“We are only three members of staff, but we share full responsibility,” said Dolley.
The huge aloe was commissioned by Duckitt, as a well-deserved “award” to Ikhala Trust for serviced rendered to communities over the past 20 years. It was constructed with wire and beading, so typical of rural art in the Eastern Cape.
