EMIS has a heart for children – help them fill their love boxes with gifts
It's the season for giving. Help the EMIS elves fill love boxes for children in need in Mbombela, White River and surrounding areas. Then join them on December 14 as they deliver the boxes in a spectacular fashion.
EMIS, in collaboration with Nelspruit Post, has decided to make a small difference this festive season in the lives of children residing with Child Welfare, CMR, Huis Betlehem in Mbombela and White River and also Katoen informal settlement.
The EMIS elves drive will collect ‘love boxes’ and fill them with small presents for children in need.
“There are so many people in our area that will not have the privilege to form part of this happy and joyful time, especially children in orphanages, foster care and informal settlements”, said Jaap Vorster, co-owner of the family business Ekono Mining and Industrial Supplies (EMIS).
Jaap and his team of EMIS elves are determined to fill approximately 500 of these boxes and then to deliver them on December 14.
They will also host a Christmas party for 100 children in Mbombela after they have dropped off all the love boxes.
What can you do to help fill the boxes?
“We need the help of the community and local businesses to pull this off,” explained Vorster. “You can help by either making a financial contribution, or, if you prefer, by picking up an empty love box from our our offices in Rocky Drift or at Lowveld Media and then filling these with gifts. Please limit the contents to the value of approximately R150 per box. We also ask that you clearly mark if it is for a boy or girl and which age group.”
You can deliver the boxes to EMIS, Rocky Drift at Bundu Big Time Complex on the corner of Janson and Wilkens roads, or to the Lowveld Media offices at 12 Stinkhout Crescent, Mbombela.

EMIS has also partnered with PEP Stores and Crazy Stores which will all collect financial contributions from the public. The money collected will be allocated to buy the boxes and fill them with gifts.
