PCA brings joy and happiness to Brondal camp kids

The need for help throughout all communities in the Lowveld is growing daily and PCA wowed to do whatever they can to help children.

The residents of the squatter camp at Brondal will be a little better prepared for winter after a second visit by the “angels” of Pediatric Care Africa (PCA).

Last week Dr André Hattingh, founder and executive director of the organisation, and his team delivered another load of food and equipment to the squatter camp that accommodates about 250 children.

According to Hattingh, the children were excited to see them and were shouting “Welcome Dokotela” while running next to the vehicle when they approached.

“We received so much gratitude from this community for the little we were able to do for them,” Hatting said.

“The privilege to make their lives a bit better and ensure the children are warm this winter was a very humbling experience. One granny kept on saying ‘thank you’ and had tears in her eyes while she hugged me.”

All delivered goods are stored in the Agape church at the squatter camp and will be equally distributed among all residents.

Hattingh reiterated that the need for help throughout all communities in the Lowveld is growing daily and that PCA would do whatever they can to help children stay healthy, have a bit of food to eat and sleep warmly at night.

PCA vowed to keep on going back to this and other communities with food and vegetables.
