Compass gets new jungle gym

Broll Property Group recently donated a jungle gym to Edenvale-based Compass Day Care Centre.

The donation was a lead-up the company’s celebration of Nelson Mandela International Day on July 18.

On Monday the group, together with other companies, visited the centre and spent time with the children for 67 minutes.

The company’s communications officer, Ms Denise Mhlanga, thanked all stakeholders who made the project a success.

“We would like to thank all involved and the centre for giving us the opportunity to give of our time and contribute to make a difference in the lives of children. We believe that giving back to the community is one of the most humane things to do and at Broll, we are not only passionate about buildings, but about the people who live, work and play in those buildings in the communities in which we operate in,” she said.

The donation also included non-perishable items.

Compass provides a safe and secure environment complete with food, clothing and housing.

Ms Annatjie Hammon, the centre’s senior executive consultant said they have 93 children on a daily basis in their care.

“Some of these children and their mothers live in the Compass Centres while the rest of the children are from the disadvantaged communities around the area. We are grateful to all the sponsors for taking the initiative and choosing to spend valuable time with our children and for the much-needed donations we have received,” said Ms Hammon.
