Join Summerhill House‘s open day this Saturday in Etete and help create lasting change for vulnerable children through volunteering and vital donations.

With the theme “Be the Hope, Be the Change,” the event invites the community to support the children’s home through hands-on activities and meaningful engagement.

Taking place from 9am to 3pm, volunteers will have the opportunity to meet the Summerhill team and learn more about getting involved in long-term initiatives.

The non-profit organisation is also appealing for donations of essential items.

Items needed include:

• Compost
• Seedlings such as cabbage, carrots, spinach and lettuce
• Gardening tools (hoes, spades, pruning shears)
• Toolbox essentials (screwdrivers, hammers, tape measures)

The home creates a vibrant, family-oriented community that provides an environment where children who have been orphaned or abandoned can grow up with the security and guidance they deserve.

Unlike traditional orphanages, Summerhill House operates as a “village of families,” placing each child in a family unit with a dedicated “Mom” and siblings.

Those interested in attending the open day or donating items can RSVP by emailing community@summerhh.org.za.
