Oubaitori

When: Saturday, 30 August, 3:30pm to 7pm

About the event: Oubaitori is a gentle Japanese word that reminds us not to compare ourselves to others. It comes from the idea that cherry, plum, apricot, and peach trees all bloom in their own time — each one beautiful, each one unique.

That’s exactly how we see our incredible dogs at the South African Guide-Dogs Association. Each one is specially trained to support someone with a disability, walking alongside them with loyalty, love, and purpose.

The Spring festival brought to you by The South African Guide Dogs Association. The day promises arts and crafts, food markets, live DJ, photo exhibit, prizes, and puppies.
