Brave community efforts from OENA Partner and Shell Lodges General Manager

Feb 6, 2024

Dijana Smal Metcalf, general manager of Abalone Lodge, The Murex and Periwinkle lodge has taken the brave step of completing another Lighthouse to Lighthouse charity walk.

Lighthouse 2 Lighthouse is a not for profit organisation that raises funds for charities in the Overstrand area. Since its inception in 2006, L2L has raised over R5million and supported more than 30 different charities in the Overstrand.

Money is raised by mobilizing the fundraising efforts of the committed, generous and fit ladies who walk the 4 day 100km walk from the lighthouse at L’Agulhas(southern most tip of Africa) to Danger Point Lighthouse in Gansbaai.

Funds are raised through the official L2L Walk, the Practice walks and the Wednesday Walks. As part of the OENA Group, we are proud of Dijana for her amazing efforts with this walk.

We urge the public to support her in this quest by donating on the website – https://lighthouse2lighthouse.co.za
