Orphanages treated to Christmas party

Roodies treated three local orphanages to a Christmas party.

Everyday Kindness Foundation, under the leadership of founder and Roodepoort Hoërskool learner Sanay Ramsamy, has gone from strength to strength, this year putting on its fourth annual Christmas party for local orphanages.

For Sanay, this will be his final Christmas party as a Roodie, but that does not mean that Everyday Kindness will not continue its quest to do good within communities and at the school.

“I have ensured that my foundation carries on its work within the school and beyond,” he says.

“We have a dedicated group of learners and teachers who will be carrying our projects forward at the school, while I will continue to grow and expand the work of the foundation in the next phase of my life.”

Sanay is planning to study human resources management at the University of Johannesburg next year.

This year’s Christmas party saw three local orphanages blessed by the foundation.

“We managed to raise enough funds for presents for all the kids, as well as a delicious meal, heaps of treats, and lots of fun activities.

“It is such a privilege for us to be able to do this for the kids. We are more determined than ever, and we plan to do even more for our communities in the future.”

At Caxton, we employ humans to generate daily fresh news, not AI intervention. Happy reading!

"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. "
