During the annual Amazwi-Puku Children’s Festival held on 21 – 22 February 2023, Elysoun Ross on behalf of the Grahamstown Film Club, handed over a contribution of R6000 to the Amazwi South African Museum of Literature. This is in recognition of the social club’s use of the museum’s theatre to show monthly movies on the first Friday of each month (except January and July) to members.
