Goodie bags for the TLC ward

POLOKWANE – Pam Golding Properties donated over 30 handbags and children’s bags filled with toiletries, cosmetics, colouring-in books and pencil crayons to the children who are patients at the Tough Living With Cancer (TLC) oncology ward at Pietersburg Provincial Hospital on Tuesday.

Speaking on behalf of Pam Golding Properties, Linda de Witt, said every year Pam Golding hosted a community project, where all the guests had to donate a handbag or any other kind of bag.

“We fill them with toiletries and cosmetics for adults and colouring-in books and pencil crayons for children, and distribute them to women at correctional centres, hospitals and poor communities. This year, we decided to donate some of the bags to the TLC ward,” she said.

Bobby Were, TLC facilitator, said they really appreciated the generous donation made by Pam Golding Properties. “This will really cheer our mothers up, they stay at the hospital day in and day out taking care of their children, and they don’t have time for themselves anymore. This will really put smiles on their faces,” he said.
