Home Meah to host baby competition

For Home Meah, every little child living at the home is beautiful, and every child’s life matters.

For that reason they have been serving Newcastle for many years as a child and youth care centre, by providing a home for abandoned, neglected and abused babies.

This year Home Meah, in conjunction with Studio Elle Photography, the Newcastle Mall and the Newcastle Advertiser, will host the first ever Home Meah Baby and Toddler Competition as a fund-raising drive for the home and its residents.

The home currently takes care of 20 babies, and with that devoted care comes many expenses. Home Meah Management felt it was the perfect time to host such a fun, fund-raising competition.

For the next eight weeks (from July 19 to September 13), Newcastle parents will have the opportunity to submit a photo of their baby in different age groups, and win great prizes.

Entry forms will be available in the Newcastle Advertiser for the next few weeks, entry forms can be dropped off at the Newcastle Mall. All photos must be taken by a professional photographer and must be A4 in size, at R100 per entry.

Jacques Breedt of Studio Elle Photography will set up a pop-up studio at the mall to take photos of babies for the competition.

Vir elke ouer is sy of haar kind die mooiste onder die son, en vir die personeel en ondersteuners van Home Meah is daar ook niks mooier as ‘n kind nie, en daarom gee hulle hierdie jaar Newcastle ouers die geleentheid om bietjie met hul kroos te spog, met die Home Meah Baby and Toddler-kompetisie.

Die kompetisie is begin as ‘n fondsinsamelingsinnisiatief vir die kinderhuis en is daarop gemik om broodnodige fondse in te samel en bewusmaking van die tehuis en die werk wat hulle verrig, te kweek.

Tans is daar 20 babas, peuters en kleuters wat by Home Meah woonagtig is en deur deel te neem aan dié kompetisie, lewer jy ‘n belangrike bydra tot die ontwikkeling en versorging van ‘n jong mens wat wees gelaat, verstoot of verlaat is.

Die kompetisie, wat in samewerking met die Newcastle Advertiser, Newcastle Mall en Studio Elle Photography op die been gebring is, gaan vir die volgende agt weke draai, en ouers kan foto’s van hul kinders inskryf en ‘n kans staan om fantastiese pryse los te slaan!

Die inskrywingsvorms sal beskikbaar wees in die Newcastle Advertiser en kan in gegee word by die Newcastle Mall, waar ‘n uitgesoekte area sal wees om die inskrywings in te handig. Jacques Breedt van Studio Elle Photography sal ook ‘n fotografiestalletjie in die sentrum hê waar professionele foto’s geneem kan word.

Inskrywings beloop teen R100 elk en foto’s moet deur ‘n professionele fotograaf gedoen wees en A4 groote ingedien word.
