Jo Maxwell, Queen of the Cape Town Red Hat Renegades and the winner of the 2005 Woman of Worth Award
The Cape Town Red Hat Renegades are a group of women over the age of 50 who get together and have fun while raising fun-ds for charity. The Cape Town motto is Fun and Friendship with a Purpose. Their purpose is to fun-d raise to feed 600 children in 9 creches. Amongst many other projects the group is now running an annual fun-d raising event called Surviving the Adventure Race which brings in almost enough money to feed the children.
Jo’s latest project is the Good Night and God Bless waterproof sleeping bag which costs a mere R5. The bags are made up of newspaper which is covered by micron recycled plastic bags providing an effective insulated, waterproof sleeping bag for those less fortunate. The Rotary Club of Claremont has given Jo a Grant of R50 000 which is being used to make up the sleeping bags.
