East disabled get early Christmas cheer
Everyone is special and must make use of their different talents.
An organisation concerned about drug addiction, domestic and alcohol abuse, has donated clothes to Mamelodi association for people living with disability in Mamelodi West.
Independent Order of True Templers, formed by different churches in Mamelodi, made the donation on Wednesday and prayed with people living with a disability.
Martha Bopape of Templers said the aim of the donation was to show the people living with disability love.
She said the Templers also encouraged the people living with disability to continue loving themselves “because God created them for a reason”.
Bopape said everyone was special with different talents to “uplift themselves, unearth their mind and practice what will improve their standing in the community”.

The organisation for Templers was formed by the women who wanted to pray together for their husbands to stop abusing alcohol and their family members but opened up, as more people joined, including men.
“As an organisation, we are reminding ourselves about our priority to cautiously take care of one another,” Bopape said.
She said the church believed that poverty was a spiritual problem that should be dealt with spiritually.
Betty Thibela of the association thanked the Templers for the donation and said the clothes would be shared amongst the needy.
“They must continue giving bank to the community,” she said, adding the generous donation was an early Christmas gift.
