Kite Festival Report & Summer Bookings

~ pocketmoneymarket ~ Leave a comment
We had an amazing day on Saturday. All our phones ran flat and got full as there was so much going on, so I am collecting pics from all the parents as well as the festival photos which should be out next week. As they come in I am adding them to this album:

We had an amazing day at the Kite Festival with 70 children participating: 20 traders and 50 performers. Kite fest is always more about the performers and they were really incredible.
We opened with IMBIZO YETHU PRODUCTION, a group from Masiphumulele lead by David Nogaga Jola This was followed by some Hip Hop acts proudly from Ocean View: Diego(doter jubels) 17. Enriky(mc reeky) 13.. (Smurf) 19.. (Mc vraagteken) 16.. Ebrahiem(mc young) 19 & Creche Kinners Next up was the incredible Mazine Wells who always get the crowd dancing, this 12 year old is a spectacular talent. The first set was wrapped up by our brillient musical facilitators Mazula backing up the young Masiphumulele violinist Milisa Ndlebe
The second set was opened by the very professional Ihlumelo lokhanyo lwethu Youth development group from Ukhanyo the light in Khayelitsha. Maxine Wells gave us another superb set followed by Brandon-Holy Gokez – an incredible Ocean View hip hop performer. The Creche Kinners had a fan club by this stage and their 13 year old lead singer blew us away again.
Massive thanks to Cape Town International Kite Festival for giving these youngsters the time on the big coke stage, dreams came true. We could never have done it without the talent and care of Zoe Mazula and Vusa Mazula guiding and managing these young people.
Back in the stunning tent provided for us by Cape Town International Kite Festival we had the Entrepreneur of the Day award won by Caitlyn and Shelby Mostert of “Fait Main” follwed by great fun in an open mic event.
Thank you so much to Jackie & Maxi for supplying the amp and mic, all the paren ts and supporters, Cape Mental Health for hosting us again and all our sponsors. 50 of our participents were sponsored with transport, lunch money and coaching and they all made a day of it. After the festival they all went to the beach for a swim and arranged the taxis home only at 6pm. A full, fun day out with no hiccups and we also secured radio time for some of our performers.
Many many thanks Ingrid Rolles, Rotary Club Cape of Good Hope, Nisan Bloch, Tiara Pathon, Annette le Roux, Shazzi Gunst, Kim Fletcher de Bruin. Thank you to David Nogaga Jola and Donald Vusi Puza for your help and Zolan Dumo without whom I would never cope as well as Litha our favorite taxi man for his great service and value and to everyone who supports these fabulous young folk. It was a challenge to get there, especially as I got stuck in riots in Ocean View and Khayelitsha during preparation and I am always amazed by how these children rise above the challenges. We are looking for anyone able to assist with future events for our performers too. We have a lot of events this summer so see you all there!

We are moving to the back of Rondebosch Park in the deep shade for summer and aiming for picnic vibes. I hope this all makes sense, please book online as its really hard to track otherwise!

In my personal opinion the biggest challenge to growing a place based and sustainable economy is to shift the consumer mindset and change spending patterns to support small and micro businesses. The benefit of this is possibly one of the most important and least understood aspects. I would love to do an experiment to track money in circulation. Spend a number of bank notes in different places and see what they buy. For example the money spent at a market stall or vendor may buy taxi fare, school books, medicine, food, etc and still make its way to a big retailer to buy a blanket or whatever. Nobody loses but wealth is created many times on the journey. The arguments against shopping like this are convenience (really – upliftment is MUCH more convenient in the long run) and the ability to swipe a card. I urge people to consider making the effort, often items are much better quality and value too and if you work at it it will in the end reduce crime, insurance premiums, security costs and the tax burden to the state and therefore to all of us. The butterfly effect is real. How amazing is it to think you can #bethechange just by shopping! This is the kind of message I need to spread, as far and fast as possible.
Johnny Clegg said it best, it is a cruel, crazy beautiful world and at 52% youth unemployment, nowhere more so than here. This is our world so best we live in it, best we can.
I have raised R18K of the R21K I need to make it rock. The last R3K is to transport and feed the outreach kids, if I don’t get it I’ll be making peanut butter sarnies which is okay, but I’d rather give them something to spend so it all keeps going around. What is amazing is our taxi drivers are only charging fuel, R1200 for 2 taxis from Khayelitsha and Mitchells Plain and R850 Masi / Ocean View…2 trips each. I have no relationship with these guys, they are just entrepreneurs and get it.
I am a legit NPO and can provide Section 18A certificates, all money is 100% into the project, no admin or wages are paid. We are now indorsed by SAIRR as well as Rotary, Clem Sunter and so on. Its by no means perfect, but it beats sitting on the couch moaning.
Next event is Longbeach Mall on Sat 30 June, get your bookings in.
Thanks to all of you for your support and well done to all the amazing youngsters already!

Wish list – this is endless but here are the top contenders:

We would love to offer prizes to our award winners, we have 10 categories. If you would like to see the list and pick a particular area of entrepreneurship to sponsor please get in touch.

Transport: We run at around one third outreach and transport to the V&A is really expensive. I need to transport around 50 kids from Khayelitsha, Mitchells’ Plain, Ocean View and Masiphumelele. In the longer term there is campaign to fund a bus. These kids also need lunch so it would be amazing to give them R40 each to buy something at the market.

Partnership Invitation: Please get in touch if you have something that synergises or would like to join or assist this project in any way. This is our fourth year and there is so much more that can happen. Prizes and goodie bags are still needed. Fundraising or sponsorship would be amazing: https://www.backabuddy.co.za/champion/project/give-the-pocket-money-market-wings-to-fly  #everyoneiswelcome #bethechange

Then we have 2 more applications for pet products: Woof Woof Meou and Cameron’s Doggy Love. We have 4 pet product traders at PMM and Erin was first to book. I am concerned about duplication and sales numbers. Perhaps we should start a little group and work out a system? Please drop me a direct message so we can work it out, if you are happy to trade together thats fine, but we must all agree, otherwise I take the time stamp off the booking. I have not had this before so open to suggestions!

Time:  9-2 (We set up at 9 and trade 9:30 to 12 with option to trade on.)

Cnr Campground & Sandown Roads, Rondebosch, 7700 Cape Town, Western Cape

Tables can be supplied at R35 each, please let me know ASAP if you would like one or if you are bringing your own. Please bring chairs, cloth, sign etc. Umbrellas and Gazebos welcome. Vehicles may unload and then must be parked off site by 8:15am so you cannot have your car at the stall We are right near the road so I prefer if we do not broing cars on site if possible, its an easy unpack from the road. Plenty of free parking with security too. Some shade over traders but don’t depend on it! Outdoor venue and we trade in the wind, only rain will cancel so please check the forecast and decide if you are game.

 Please remember: NO SINGLE USE PLASTICS at any of our events and regular traders BRING YOUR PLEDGE.

Remember your change float.

I attach the accounting sheet and suggest you complete as much as possible at home before the market.

Completed sheets must be handed half an hour before the end please, if you need help please just ask during the market. This needs to be completed in order to gain a certificate.

 

When you arrive, please see me and book in BEFORE setting up.

All stalls must have a sign please.

A couple of rules: No playing on cell phones during trading please, they are best packed away for security anyway.

Please try not to eat at your stall, it looks unprofessional. I know the kids get peckish and a quick bite is fine but don’t make the stall a picnic area. No gum chewing while trading please.

While younger kids need adult help I think from about 10/11 years they should be fine without and I am around if they need help. For those needing help please can we keep it to just one adult at the stall, otherwise the event loses the kiddie vibe.

When you pack up please leave your area immaculate, if you have had messy activities please pick up any bits.

We are all ambassadors for the PMM and I am always proud that the kids are so much more professional than the pros!

STALL FEES:

These are totally voluntary, however it teaches a good lesson about overheads. As there is always a rush to pack up at the end please calculate your stall fees as follows: Work out your net profit on the accounting sheet by the end of trading. It really helps to use this sheet when you prep and keep it up to date while you trade. You are welcome to customize for your products. Fees are not compulsory but do teach the concept of overheads. The general idea is a maximum of R50 per stall but not more than 20% of net profit. This should motivate accurate costings;) If you are raising funds or require start up assistance no fees apply. Please calculate before the end of the market, ask if you need help and if needs be wait until after. The accounting is an important part of PMM, please do not gloss over it.

I would prefer fees to be paid electronically into the PMM back a buddy account: https://www.backabuddy.co.za/champion/project/give-the-pocket-money-market-wings-to-fly If you are happy to do this please write that on the accounting sheet too so I can reconcile. Use your stall name as a ref. You are more than welcome to pay ahead for those of you who know you do well…I can always hold credit if needs be.

ADVERTS

Please send a Jpeg advert as soon as possible, at least three days before the event. I will be sending out links with the ads and it is compulsory to share them please.

Please feel free to call me on 0833840590 if you would like any help or have questions.

Lastly traders kindly confirm with a mail or message you have this mail and are 100% confirmed if you have not done so or let me know if your plans have changed. We are always wait listed these days so I’d rather let someone else have the space if you are unable to attend.

WINTER TRADING SCHEDULE:

We are now entering exam term and winter tading so we will not be doing Thursdays at Cape Point Vineyards until spring. We continue with Longbeach Mall last Saturday of the month and Rondebosch on the second Saturday as well as a few guest events and 16 June at the V&A. Please keep an eye on the Facebook page and whatsapp group for pop up events too, here is the link to join the whatsapp group:https://chat.whatsapp.com/0SmpOCkBwHx41EnWzYiCc5 and here is the booking link: https://pocketmoneymarket.com/market-stall-bookings-for-kids/  PLEASE NOTE: I have a lot of questions and see a lot of traders have not read the details on the booking form and website. It is really helpful if you can go through this with the kids, both regulars and new traders should please check this before markets as I do update from time to time and there is a lot of info there.

If you are in the Northern supburbs or wish to begin an event in your area anywhere, please feel free. I am unable to do mire myself, but I will 100% support and assist to get this up and running as well as holiday workshops etc.

AWARDS & WORKSHOP REPORT: (Photos: https://www.facebook.com/PocketMoneyMarketSA/posts/2018011951747941, Video to follow)

Young Entrepreneurs Pocket Money Market’s 3rd Annual Awards on 5 April was a festive event with over 80 attendees from all areas of Cape Town.

The day began with a mass signing of the #PlasticFree Pledge as sustainability is a strong part of our business ethic and waste and resource management are becoming ever more crucial elements of business the world over. PMM has a strong Waste2Wealth component too.

 

This was followed by the awards for outstanding achievements of the young traders and performers.

Awards are not based on income earned as this is its own reward, but on a variety of other criteria as follows:
Presentation and Display: Sweetatsic Creations: Kyra Semler (12) from Bergvliet

Innovation and Persistance: The Crafty Kidz: Kenneth (9) and Christopher (11) Ikin of Somerset West

Salesmanship was awarded to 2 great traders: King Mlotha (10) Kings Krazy Korner and Onias Gadziwa (12) Oni’s Organics (From Masiphumelele)

Accounting Excellence: The Soap Cellar: Rachel van de Vijver (9) From Kennilworth

Sustainablity and environmental innovation: Gabriel’s Mucky Stuff: Gabriel Arendse (10) Welcome Glen

Good Spirit and gret attitude: SA Cool Trading Kids (A collective from Masiphumelele)

Busker of the Year: Milisa Ndebele (12) from Masiphumelele

Runner up entrepreneur of the year: Hanna Eyre (15) from Glencairn (The Facemaker and also a busker)

Overall Entrepreneurial Brilliance: BEAUTY ARTS & CRAFTS Trinity (10), Aurelie (11) and Benita (12) Morse of Welcome Glen

CONGRATULATIONS

 

Winners received cash prizes and certificates with a small treat.

 

This was followed by an inspiring interactive talk by wealth coach and author Marnita Opperman who shared her wisdom so generously with the kids. Marnita has published a book called the Money Code and How to Crack It and is kindly donating R50 from each sale to the PMM – our first real funding ever in 4 years, we are super excited.
We had a little lunch party and massive thanks To Nick Kerr of Capones Pizza who donated 10 Pizzas and Roxanne Schmidt & Nisan Bloch for their Pizza donations too. The fantastic Candice Mostert of Waste Ed took the stage with some fun teambuilding games, a waste to wealth focus and eco bricking.

This was followed by Melanie Lippert the famous #storyninja and then a jam session with the buskers and the rest of the kids on percussion using the shakers we made from old bottle tops in a fun upcycle.
It was an EPIC day, many many thanks to Tinei of the Forward Fund Media Academy who took amazing photos for us as well as video footage. As always, Peak Academy kindly make their school facilities available which is perfect, we certainly used all the space today. Thank you so much to all the people who make this possible, Shazzi Gunst was a rock star, Matt Baker was setting up alongside Leigh Palmer early and the incredible and amazing Benson Arendse…what would we do without you. Thank you to Longbeach Mall, our anchor venue hosts, Rondebosch Park Market, The False Bay Business Network and all our amazing traders, buskers, parents, shoppers and encouragers for your support. SA has the highest inequality, highest unemployment and highest youth unemployment in the world…this is one way to #bethechange #everyoneiswelcome

 

People are asking for workshops all over the Cape and beyond. This is however a tiny self funding NPO that gets scraps of time and my car has broken down again so if anyone would like to possibly assist this project please check us out on http://www.pocketmoneymarket.com or https://www.backabuddy.co.za/champion/project/give-the-pocket-money-market-wings-to-fly

The Pocket Money Market aims to contribute to inspiring a generation of children who are able to sustain themselves and their families independently in the long term while generating immediate income too. We EARN LEARN & HAVE FUN between 2 and 6 times a month with workshops every holidays. There are no mandatory fees, traders pay a token stall fee on a voluntary basis as part of the concept of overheads. They keep accounting records, create adverts and trading is supervised and mentored on an ongoing basis. Start up assistance is available and outreach traders get ongoing logistical support. For more information email linda@livelightly.co.za

 

Lastly we have an invitation that I am unable to take up as I am just too busy, but please feel free if you wish to trade independently:

Hello Linda

I was wondering if you would like to hold a Pocket Money Market on Saturday 5 May at The Baseball Club in Fish Hoek. We are having our end of season game day and I thought it would be a great platform for the kids to come down and sell their goodies. Please let me know if you would like to organise a market for the day (10am-2pm?)

Further details can be discussed if you are interested?

Thank you so much

Ruth Owens

Secretary – Fish Hoek Dolphins Baseball Club  Ruth Owens <owens.ruthd@yahoo.com>

Thanks as always for all your support. I am alwyas looking for volunteers to assist with the social media, photos, PR, admin, outreach, events, fundraising and so forth if anyone is keen.

See you at the market!
