September Newsletter 2026
September became a month of reminding our community of something very simple:
Every person is created by God, has unique value and purpose, and deserves to be seen, valued and included.
Loved Beyond Measure became more than just our Daisy Day theme. It became the message we carried into the streets, schools, businesses, churches and organisations of Wellington.
Red lights. Yellow shirts. Big smiles.
For three days, our Avodah members, volunteers and Drakenstein Wetstoepassing joined together at traffic lights.
We sang. We waved. We smiled. We cheered. And most importantly — we were seen.
This was about more than getting people’s attention. It was about creating awareness and showing our community that people with disabilities belong in the heart of our community.
Daisy Week reached far beyond Avodah.
Schools, businesses, churches and organisations joined us by wearing yellow, sharing our message and standing with our members.
Together, we said: People with disabilities are not on the sidelines. They are part of us.
Daisy Day at Sunfield Homes
Daisy Day itself was all about being together. The Avodah team, members, staff, volunteers and management spent the day with our friends at Sunfield Homes. We did a 2 km walk through the vineyards, ate Hotdogs and Slap chips. There was lots of laughter, new friendships were formed and we had a whole lot of fun! Sometimes inclusion doesn’t need to be complicated. Sometimes it looks like walking together, sharing food, laughing together and enjoying one another’s company.
But why do we do it?
Because Jesus sees every person. Our Avodah members are not defined by their disabilities. They are people with beautiful personalities, incredible abilities, dreams, talents and so much love to give.
At Ma’s vir Wellington, we believe that every person has God-given value and purpose. They are loved. They are valued. They belong. They are Loved Beyond Measure.
“See what great love the Father has lavished on us, that we should be called children of God!” 1 John 3:1
Daisy Day wasn’t all serious!
At Avodah, we believe that joy matters too. Life is about more than programs and activities. It is about friendship, laughter, discovering new things and making memories together.

As we get ready for our Golf Day on 16 October 2026, we’re putting together an auction filled with special items, experiences and memories — and we’d love your help.
Perhaps you have a bottle of wine to share, a dining experience, a weekend away, sporting memorabilia, a special service, a voucher or something completely unique.
Whatever you have in your hand, it could help us hand a better future to those we serve.
Every auction item donated helps us raise funds for the work we do at Ma’s vir Wellington — and we’re so grateful for every person who chooses to be part of it.
Donate an auction item and help us make this Golf Day count.
