Can-do approach leads to a lasting change
According to Jane, a total of 222 children currently benefit from their assistance.
MBOMBELA – Child Welfare SA’s local office recently received a valuable “gift” when learners of Curro School donated more than
1 000 items of non-perishable foodstuffs through the Donate a Can project.
According to Penny Jane of Child Welfare, this enabled them to feed 28 families – 64 adults and 114 children to whom they provide weekly food parcels.
The organisation has been rendering social-welfare services to the community of Mbombela and surrounding areas since 1937, after a number of women came together with the aim of assisting children and families in need. According to Jane, a total of 222 children currently benefit from their assistance.
“Two drop-in centres also have our support where school-going children receive a daily meal each weekday,” Jane said.
She expressed her gratitude towards the Lions Club for driving this project for over a decade.
“We wish to thank the Nelspruit Lions Club members for their consistency in driving this project of collecting groceries every year
on our behalf.
It is truly a wonderful effort,” Nomfundo Myeza, office manager of Child Welfare, said.
They also thanked Curro for their wonderful effort in helping those in need.
