ERMELO – The local Child and Youth Care Centre (CYCC) is reaching out to the community for a helping hand to brighten the lives of the children in their care.

According to Kwanele Zingisa Nzoyi, the centre’s manager, their walls are in desperate need of a fresh coat of paint.

She encouraged all residents who may have spare paint to donate it to the CYCC.

“We are grateful for any donations – any colour, any amount – that could help us create a warmer and more welcoming environment for the children. Your contribution, no matter how small, will make a tangible difference in their daily lives,” Nzoyi said.

Paint donations can be dropped off at 52 Pet Street.

For more information or to arrange for collection of paint, contact Nzoyi on 072 484 4349.
