Crazy Cupcakes foundation to raise money for Tembisa crèche
The event will be held at the Kempton Civic Centre on February 13 and will start at 6.30pm
THE Crazy Cupcake Children’s Foundation is organising a fund-raising concert in aid of Tembisa crèche “Bana Ba Kgotso”.
Crazy Cupcakes is a faith-based, volunteer-led NPO that reaches out to needy and underprivileged children and includes evangelism and missionary activities.
They have identified Bana Ba Kgotso, a crèche that looks after and feeds 66 children a day, as one of their projects.
The children’s ages range from three-month-old babies to 13 years old.
Thirty-two of the children are there for the full day, with the remaining 34 coming to the crèche after school.
The main aim of the owner of the crèche, Dennis Rasekgela, is to keep the children off the streets while the parents are looking for work.
Not all the parents are permanently employed and some rely on piece jobs as a main source of income.
The crèche asks those parents who can, to contribute R150 per month, but less than half of the parents are able to pay this amount.
“To feed these children three meals a day and to pay two helpers R850 each a month is no easy task. To subsidise the income, Rasekgela works every Saturday as a soccer referee and has opened her home to these children as the crèche does not have its own facilities,” Anton Posthumus, of Crazy Cupcakes, said.
The proceeds from the evening will go towards Bana Ba Kgotso.
Special guest performers for the evening will be Navi Redd, a vocal play/acapella/vocal band consisting of five members.
The event will be held at the Kempton Civic Centre on February 13 and will start at 6.30pm.
A finger meal will be provided during the interval.
Tickets for the evening cost R180 per person
