A team from Pediatric Care Africa (PCA) visited the squatter camp on the Mbombela/Sabie Road near the Brondal turn-off last week.

On their previous trip, to the Lydenburg Soli Deo Gloria Care Centre, they noticed this squatter camp and decided to offer help there too.

The camp consists of approximately 135 huts next to the road and the team noticed a number of children with scraps for clothing sitting on the road barrier.

Last week they loaded one ton of tinned food, two tons of blankets, clothing, toys, candles and more and headed off to the squatter camp.

On arrival they were met by an elderly woman who acts as representative for the camp and told them that it was occupied by about 80 children and their parents and that they were extremely appreciative of the toys and blankets.

PCA delivered the donation to the Brondal Agape Church, built for the squatter camp, from where it will be fairly shared among all households at the camp.

The children were very excited to each receive a soft toy as a gift.
