Gifts for Amira The giftsforamira system has been closed. This gift system has been abolished at the order of the family for the time being, probably completely. How unfortunate.
Formerly the birthday promotion That will be an Easter promotion from now on. This starts in week 11 and ends on Saturday before Easter. This will be a fully Gelukskinders action. This also is a decision of the family.
The birthday concert “On My Own” Gelukskinders will also jump in again with the sale of tickets for those who really cannot order via Optog. It looks like these will be gift vouchers. With a gift voucher, you can decide for yourself when you want to enjoy the show. This time we have to offer them in the presale, starting in week 10. If you want to watch this concert on the 27th-28th-29th of March and you have to order via Gelukskinders, then we recommend you to order your voucher in the presale! In week 12, we are only sporadically on-line. More about this in week 10! The concert runs for multiple days. Do you happen to live in Pretoria or the surrounding area? Don’t miss the opportunity to attend this concert LIVE. Seats are limited! Order your tickets now! Before it’s too late! You can order here: Amira Willighagen with Richard Cock and orchestra – On My Own | Seatme.
There will be NO DVD of this production! However, a CD will be made.
The calendar of this website has already been updated. Performances in March in Cape Town and of course in Pretoria – Amira’s very own birthday concert. For the group of travellers, it is important to know that they do NOT have to buy a ticket for the concert. The tour guide takes care of that. For details please go to Calendar.

First, we still owe you the results of the last Christmas action. A success! Once again, you can look forward to a streaming concert. On view from the 27th of March, how coincidental, Amira’s 18th birthday. If you are in the vicinity of Pretoria, you can also attend this concert on the 20th of March at the Atterbury Theatre.
The proceeds for the Gelukskinders purposes were €6685 total. This has prompted Amira to give everyone who donated to the birthday concert or the Christmas promotion a free ticket. Further reports about the free tickets will follow later.
Now, the annual planning brought to you by Amira:
A very brief summary: Opening of playgrounds in the schools Keotsipile and Bokamosa, last week of February and the second week of March, as well as the creche in Sonderwater, Morswedi Wa Both Kres, at the end of March in the presence of a number of fans.
Planned actions to start around Easter: Project Hessie – a large public playground. Total costs €15,000, divided into two actions. Continuation of the netball project, kits with 5 professional balls per school plus preparations for a Gelukskinders tournament.
This year, the promotion consists of three different items that are present in the webshop. The final goal is estimated at €10,000 – a considerable amount. Hopefully, all fans who want to contribute can get this amount together. The direct donation for Amira’s birthday concert will also continue.
