New Paballo Logo :)

Paballo is all about people. It’s about the connection between people. It’s concerned with developing relationships and nurturing friendships. It aims to care for people and validate them. The new Paballo logo takes its motivation and form from this personal and people-orientated philosophy.

The logo is based on a greeting. When we first meet people we introduce ourselves, usually with a handshake. This is an important moment of contact between two people. From then on, the handshake becomes part of our greeting of the people we know. The handshake in the Paballo logo captures the 3 movements of the African handshake, and expresses Paballo’s pride in being African. The colour of the hand is not race-specific. This shows that the focus is on people and not skin colour.

The three hands are interlinked, which demonstrates the unity and interdependence of the various people involved with the Paballo outreach. The word Paballo is in bold to place emphasis on the care element of the project. The copy is written in lower case in keeping with the personal and friendly tone; there are no pretensions here. The handshake holds within it the promise of meaningful relationships with the new people we meet.

Whats Paballo About?

Paballo started in 1989, when a Catholic priest called for a ministry for inner city Johannesburg to befriend the poor and address the plight of the homeless and destitute. The Central Methodist Mission responded by introducing Pepo Ya Batho - Feeding the people. Initially the ministry only focused on providing food for the inner city's homeless, in cooperation with other churches in the area.

As further needs were identified, their work expanded to include:
• feeding people once a week;
• medical care;
• providing blankets and clothing;
• spiritual care and counseling;
• help getting passports and IDs;
• Helping people return home;
• Lobbing for their basic human rights
•
This broader focus led to a change in name, Paballo Ya Batho - Caring for the people, incorporating concern for human dignity along with concern for physical needs.

Kats from Matt Black to draw a stack load and donate.
Also the deadline for Jozi is 1Nov and Cape Town is 11 Oct :/

Everybuddy

Paballo is an organisation that feeds and provides basic medical attention to over 300 homeless people In the city every Wednesday night. We have decided to hold a R100 exhibition in order to raise funds for a new bakkie, which is desperately needed to lighten the load and make more impact.

Exhibition is called “night of a 1000 drawings”, modelled after a similar exhibition held in New York except all proceeds don’t go to windy peeps but to the charity. Please help out by sending through as many drawings as possible by October. No specific subject matter, medium or substrate drawn on.
Only a5 in size drawings. Each will be sold at R100 a piece.

Exhibition details to follow.
