Community project extends gratitude to hospital frontliners
“The reaction from the rest of the community showed that they acknowledged the immense and huge sacrifices the personnel the personnel makes and also assisted with spontaneous donations. They also arranged prayer groups at the hospital.
A community-led project, headed by multiple organisations, extended cups of gratitude to frontline workers at the Netcare Montana hospital earlier this week.
“Sinoville SAPS, Sinoville crisis centre and the Just Imagine property group decided that each person on duty would be given a cup of coffee or tea every day to say ‘thank you’ for their immense hard work and dedication to the patients they serve in this time,” police spokesperson Warrant Officer Johan van Dyk said.
He said the first volunteers reported to the entrance of the hospital on Friday, 15 January around 05:00 to prepare and serve the “superhero” frontline workers.
“The reaction from the rest of the community showed that they acknowledged the immense and huge sacrifices the personnel makes and also assisted with spontaneous donations.
“They also arranged prayer groups at the hospital,” Van Dyk said.
He explained that it was during a meeting between the relevant role players that it was decided to have the project at the hospital as it had been a pillar and beacon of hope to the community while also reportedly always supported other community projects.
Van Dyk further extended his gratitude to the property company for also making gazebos available for people who stood in line to get tested.
“On behalf of the community, I want to thank all of the hospital personnel and frontline workers for the sacrifices they made to serve the community.”
