Locals pull together for Inchanga orphans
With Winter only a few months away, Clarke is appealing to the community to donate old clothes
“It was pitiful to see the young children shivering away in the rain in their tatty clothes.”
These were the words of Joshua Clarke of Salt Rock after seeing the conditions in which children at Steven Davison Primary School in Inchanga (the Valley of 1000 Hills) are forced to live.
Clarke and a few friends have started a drive to gather clothing and the like to donate to the school.
“The school asked if we could have a rally for clothes – jackets and jerseys particularly, anything will do including ones that are worn, or with holes in,” said Clarke.
“These small kids – many of whom are orphans – invariably have only one set of clothes to their name.”
With Winter only a few months away, Clarke is appealing to the community to donate old clothes.
They are also appealing for any books or magazines (with or without covers), basketballs, netballs, footballs (any sports equipment would make a big difference as they have virtually nothing.)
“In other words, anything would make a difference,” Clarke said.
“We also intend organising a braai, where guests would pay R100 per person to attend with all proceeds going to the school.”
Contact 060 403 4275 or 084 511 4071 for donations – no money, only goods and services.
