Recently a Knysna couple, Jason and Suzi Thomopoulos, who both turned 40 within a short period of each other, decided to celebrate the milestone with friends and family with a 'Twenties' party.
In an exemplary, selfless gesture they requested their guests to make a donation to FAMSA Knysna in lieu of gifts.
"My husband and I have always felt great anger and sorrow at the injustices and abuse perpetrated specifically on women and children throughout the world. So instead of our party guests gifting us with presents for our 40th we hoped that the giving could make more of a meaningful difference.," said Suzi.
FAMSA Knysna was suggested to us as a local organisation that plays an effective role in diminishing abuse. I have to agree that FAMSA surely does that. Their aims and efforts are truly laudable."

Suave gentlemen - Martin Fraser-Mackenzie, Steve Buchalter and Brett Lederle.
