Have your cupcake and eat it #67minutes
The North Coast Courier donated 67 minutes of their time to decorate cupcakes to be given to orphans and vulnerable children this afternoon.
Celebrating Mandela Day, The North Coast Courier newsroom in Ballito was turned into a mini pastry kitchen when staff swapped their news hats for chefs hats, decorating delicious cupcakes that will be handed out this afternoon.
Each staff member brought 12 plain cupcakes, either home-made or bought, which the team then had fun decorating together with different flavours of icing and sprinkles.
People visiting The North Coast Courier offices this morning were also welcomed with colourful, tasty cupcakes and the rest will be delivered more than 60 orphans and vulnerable children at the Endudzweni community centre at Melville.
The Enduduzwenin recently became a North Coast Courier Orphan Fund project after the government cut their funding.
Providing a daily meal for the children, the only reliable meal of the day for most of them, the centre is a light on a hill in the community. Many of the children come from child-headed households and the centre also gives them a safe place to go in the afternoons.
The Orphan Fund has enabled them to continue the project.
