NSRI – The Unsung Heroes

Photos & Text by Andrew Aveley

Not many of my people are aware of my involvement with NSRI and in particular Station 12 Knysna. For nearly 10 years I was an active crewman here but due to work and family commitments I am unable to give the 200% commitment at present. So I have decide to help in another aspect…..below are some sample images that are available for purchase as prints with proceeds going to NSRI .

In the endless quest for funds to keep the institution on the cutting edge of International Rescue Industry. As they rely solely on donations , here you can make a difference and in the meantime get a unique canvas for your home or corporate office. I have made a collection of images available through my online print outlet that can be delivered country wide to any major centre. The best quality inks and materials are use by Paul Changuion and PRINT WILD . Check out this blog and video about the company who will handle the country wide distribution.

This is available until the end of September 2013 . Each print will be numbered and will also carry the official NSRI watermark. I will also include a certificate of authenticity that will be mailed directly to you and it will contain all the details of the image and or moment captured

There are nearly 50 images available in the collection and can so that there is something for all. From the legendary tall ships to navy Mine Hunters and images of rescue craft in service around the Southern Cape. I hope you will support this worthy cause !

If you require anything to be customised or printed in the Garden Route with Ian, Warren and Glenda Fleming, please drop me a mail at info@andrewaveley.co.za and I will oblige. Please contact Meriel Bartlett at NSRI HQ to validate this project or with any further donation queries
