Boerierolls for a good cause

Queen Butterfly Foundation provides daily care for severely disabled children and young adults.

Queen Butterfly Foundation held a successful fundraiser on February 28, selling delicious boerierolls to passing residents outside Springbok Butchery.

According to Julie Botha from the foundation, funds raised from the sales go directly toward helping them create a safe, loving, and stimulating environment for the severely disabled children and young adults who attend their school.

“Ours is a labour of love,” says Julie. “The reality is that it costs a lot of money to provide the level of care that we do.

“We create a personalised programme for each child with the input of therapists.

“We have a team of highly trained, dedicated, caring and professional facilitators looking after the children, who, in addition to making sure their rehabilitation and therapeutic exercises are being done, ensure that each child receives individual one-on-one attention.

“Our various fundraising initiatives are aimed at ensuring we can offer our learners the best care. We would also like to expand our service to help even more children,” she adds.

"Johan is an internationally published journalist and editor with extensive experience in news and industry reporting. His work has featured in numerous publications over the years. He cut his teeth at the Roodepoort Record and Northside Chronicle as proofreader, swiftly progressing to junior journalist. He later joined Randfontein Herald as journalist and eventually worked his way up to becoming editor. During his years away from Caxton, he fulfilled journalist and editor positions for various industry publications at the once mighty Malnor Media House right up to their closure in 2019. This position saw him traveling all over the world on writing assignments. Since 2019, he has worked as a freelancer for various publishing houses, and had a year-long stint as senior editor for a large stable of retail and medical B2B titles, until rapid growth of his own small business required his fulltime attention. At the end of 2023, with his own business now fully staffed, Johan decided to dedicate himself to his first love, working as a local journalist for the good of his community. "
