The festive season is upon us! It is unbelievable how fast the year has
flown. Now it's time to take a break, unwind, spend some time with
family,
and reflect on 2015.
We've been working hard to make sure that your holidays are going to be
great. This month, we have some special promotions to help you get away
from it all and relax, including a competition where you can win a trip
to Ballito.
Lastly, we'd like to thank you for your continued support. We wouldn't
be where we are today without you, our valued SAA Voyager members.
Enjoy
a
wonderful festive season and we hope to see you on a
flight to that well-deserved holiday.
Regards
SAA
Voyager Team
Forever
part of your journey!

Reach
For A Dream foundation continues to make a difference in the lives of
many children with
life-threatening illnesses, and we would like to thank all SAA Voyager
members for opening their hearts and heeding the call of making dreams
possible.
Devan, 12, lives in a small farming town in the Eastern Cape, called
Patensie. Increasingly, his condition is limiting his mobility making
him feel confined to his small part of the world.
|
|
|

Devan’s
big dream was to visit Cape Town and explore the Mother city in all her
majesty. He had often heard about how beautiful the city is and wanted
to experience it himself. And what a wonderful experience the Dream
Team organised for him!
