West resident opens her heart
Booysens resident Kleintjie Janse van Rensburg, along with local ward councillor, Frik van Wyk handed out knee blankets and sweets to the less fortunate.
A resident of the west of Pretoria recently opened her heart for the less fortunate – and she plans to do more.
“It was a privilege for me to be able to do the work that I am passionate about,” said Booysens resident Kleintjie Janse van Rensburg.
Janse van Rensburg, with local ward councillor, Frik van Wyk, handed out lap blankets to two old age homes in the area.
The blankets were given to Beterskap and Wag ’n Bietjie old age homes whose residents also received sweets and chips at the block of flats near the Holy Cross home.
