KNYSNA | BITOU NEWS - The National Sea Rescue Institute (NSRI) is hosting an open day this Saturday, 1 October, giving members of the public a chance to visit any of their 50 bases nationwide to get a better look at what the NSRI does every day.
This is an opportunity to learn more about the organisation which is manned by more than 1 300 unpaid volunteers who are on call 24/7, ready to respond to water-related emergencies.
"Some would say that our volunteers are heroes, but to us, the real heroes are all of you, the donors who support us every day. So, please, come down with the family to your local rescue base - our volunteers would love the chance to meet their heroes in person," says NSRI CEO Dr Cleeve Robertson.
There are two NSRI bases in the CX region - one in Knysna and one in Plettenberg Bay - and they will be open to the public between 10:00 and 15:00.
