Pam Golding Properties and the NTT Motoring Group embrace the Christmas spirit at the Madadeni Provincial Hospital.

The icy weather did not put a stop to the festive cheer this past Tuesday (December 10).

Pam Golding Properties (PGP) and the NTT Motoring Group embraced the Christmas spirit, to bring good tidings to patients at the Madadeni Provincial Hospital.

“We do this to give back to the community as much as possible, and it amazes the PGP team how every year, the residents of Newcastle and various businesses become actively involved in our CSI initiative,” said franchisee, Samantha Wade.

This year’s initiative brought joy to young patients at the hospital, to raise awareness and to collect toys and gifts for the less fortunate.

“We leave with the best possible gift we can receive, which is the precious smiles from the children.We do this for them, to ensure they will all have the experience of Christmas and the joy which comes with it,” added Wade.
The staff of PGP and members from the NTT Motoring Group visited three wards, to share many hugs, smiles and sing Christmas carols with children ranging from newborn to 13 years old.

“Unfortunately at this time of the year, not many people remember about the children who will be spending their Christmas holiday in the hospital, and due to their circumstances and health, do not have a chance to go home,” said a nurse from the Madadeni Hospital medical team.Laughter erupted from the wards as the gifts were presented.
