This year was the 38^th year of community in unity!

The magic happened! Everyone was amazed!

One could well be complacent with something that has been happening for 38 years! It could well be regarded as a routine operation which happens because all who participate are familiar with proceedings.

The ONE to ONE DAY FAIR dispels that thinking in all aspects particularly that of excitement and enjoyment. This year certainly had all the elements of a caring society providing some of the city’s “special people “with a day of fun, laughter and enjoyment in each other’s company.

To be part of the enthusiasm of participating organizations is but one facet. The other is the excitement the disabled guest expresses in the caring environment. And to add a pulse to that the beat of the music provides the impetus for a special interaction between 2 elements of the citizens of Cape Town. The one is able the other disabled.

We are particularly thankful for the sponsors who assist us in arranging the day and to our City Council who have embraced this communal event as an important one on the social development calendar of activities. It is no cliché that Cape Town by its actions at ONE to ONE does care!

After 38 years one may feel.. “we’ve done it all  ….  However with ONE to ONE the challenge is  there to improve and to continue to   provide  this  wonderful symbiosis between the caring and those who need  to be cared for.

The collaborative efforts of the organisers (i.e. stall holders, sponsors, entertainers and venue management) together with the efforts of the Western Cape Forum for Intellectual Disability is without a doubt something that the Mother City of Cape Town can feel justifiably proud.

Different people... different outlooks and priorities... but with a common goal... the magic for all...which is ONE to ONE!!

Friends 2019:

Stall Holders 2019:

Live Entertainment 2019:

An exciting element of this communal initiative has been the provision of live entertainment at ONE to ONE. That facet of enjoyment complements the activities of the stalls with alternative forms of excitement and a reason to enjoy the day.

Those providing such entertainment do so willingly and bring something special to the day in the manner they express their talents. The efforts of many contribute to the success of the day... and we wish to recognise with very grateful thanks and admiration the efforts of: Paul Zuckerman,  BrianRabinowitz,David Raphael,  Felicity Dreyer, Tessa Woods, Ralph Mayer, Zach Helfrich, Debbie Arelisky,Jacques  van Wyk (our Safety Officer), Ilonka  Gray and a  host of others each of whom played a role in the success of the day. And one needs to recognise too the role of Khanyisile Mjodo, the guest officer  of the Cape Town Stadium played in facilitating arrangements for ONE to ONE 37!!
