They can redeem this ticket for a cooked meal at One Village.<\/li>\n<li>Tickets can be redeemed for R2 sandwiches, R5 meals, clothing, blankets or household items.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>One of One Village founders, Sonya Hofler, said, \u201cPlease get involved with this initiative and make the difference in your community. No cash given means less chance of substance abuse. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cAnything needed can be obtained at One Village and we can refer people to the correct associations or individuals for further needs. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt is so exciting to see all of JBay enthusiasm and support for the R5 books, let\u2019s all be involved in getting cash of the streets and empowering our community.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>One Village will have a stall at the Jeffreys Bay SuperSpar in Da Gama Road, tomorrow, Friday, August 27, in the late afternoon and at Fountains Mall (at the entrance at Mr Price Home) on Saturday, August 28 from 08:00 until 17:00. <\/p>\n<p>Here the public can find out more, get involved or make a donation.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>For more information, contact One Village on 078 087 2806, 083 382 5043, send
