Winter blankets needed by orphans
SizaBantwana desperately needs the kindness of good samaritans to keep the children warm this winter.
The winter is near and SizaBantwana, an organisation caring for children in the Bushbuckridge and Hazyview districts, is in desperate need of 870 new or second-hand blankets to support families and children through the cold winter months.
The drop-off zones are at Induna Adventures, Crystal Rock Ministries, Sabie River Sun or collection can be organised. Any donations will be much appreciated.
Some children live in the homes of relatives or caring neighbours who are supported by the SizaBantwana volunteers.
After school, they are served a meal at a SizaBantwana Care Centre, prepared by caring and trained volunteers. The youngsters play outside underneath the trees and sit mostly on the ground when eating – probably the only meal many will receive for the whole day.
Some of the food is donated by local farmers and the balance is purchased from donations by a caring public.
Children attending this project do not only need food, but also love and tender care. Some of them are terminally ill.
Volunteers are trained how to provide much-needed care to the orphans, destitute children, and the terminally sick.
In addition, it provides holistic social services to help children cope and religious services to show them the love of God.
SizaBantwana currently cares for 661 orphans. Enquiries: SizaBantwana office on 079-525-7000 or email at office@sizabantwana.org.
