Christmas came early for various homes in Midrand

The food and blanket donations were part of the ongoing campaign of 16 Days of Activism for No Violence Against Women and Children.

Various streets in Midrand were filled with police sirens, not in pursuit of criminals, but for a good course.

As part of the 16 days of activism for no violence against women and children campaign, on December 5, Midrand police donated various items to local homes and orphanages, including blankets, food parcels, t-shirts, toiletries, and sanitary pads.

Authorities did this in collaboration with the Divine Intervention Association (DIA) and with the help of various sponsors.

It then moved to Tumelo Home for the Mentally Handicapped, New Jerusalema Children’s Home, and finished off at the New Life Centre for Girls, all in President Park.

Representatives of the homes thanked authorities for the gesture.
