June / july 2010 – The Hawston Steel Pan band, taught and mentored by the Enlighten Music team, played at various World Cup venues, which included 14 performances. This was hugely exciting for the band members and required extra hard work and commitment from all parties involved.

The Enlighten Open Day, held on 25 March 2010, turned out to be a huge success. The afternoon kicked off with a very special ceremony where Henri Kuiper, the founder of EET, was honoured as the Life President of EET. Angela Heslop, Vice-Chairperson of EET, paid tribute to Henri who has, together with a committed team, established a credible and effective educational NGO in Hermanus. During the latter part of the afternoon, many visitors could enjoy what Enlighten has to offer. All venues were prepared and the EET facilitators were “on duty” to talk to the visitors. The afternoon was enjoyed and appreciated by all.

The last major event of the year for Enlighten was the Merit Awards ceremony which was held on 2nd December.  This is our opportunity to acknowledge individuals who have done excellent work in the various projects or who have contributed to the promotion of the work of Enlighten.

A small end-of-year Staff Function took place on the 3th December for staff, trustees and spouses to celebrate the end of a very rewarding year.

The marimbas performed at the fundraising effort for the Cancer Association held at the home of Liz and Francois Marais.  The marimba group received many compliments, not just on their playing but on their behaviour as well.
