Children taught about ‘stranger danger’
Children enjoyed a fun-filled morning while being taught the dangers of talking to strangers.
The South African Outreach and Emergency Services visited the South Coast last Sunday (May 30).
The Durban-based NPO is aimed at fighting gender-based violence as well as child abuse.
The organisation was hosted by Turning Point Ministries in Port Shepstone, as Pastor Samantha-Lee Samlall is its South Coast based leader.
In light of May being child protection month, the NPO presented a “Stranger Danger” talk to children and parents in the community.
Children enjoyed a fun-filled morning while being taught the dangers of talking to strangers.
Director of the NPO, Tootsie Francis, headed the interactive discussion where she taught children how to identify strangers, what to do when they feel unsafe and how to protect themselves, along with many other aspects.
Among the attendees was Caz Vanderbyl Meth of the Universal Good Samaritan Foundation (Tugs Foundation).
The Tugs Foundation is aimed at enhancing the lives of women and children in the community, as well as creating a healthy environment for them.
Caz gave the children presents provided by the Samaritan’s Purse in America.
These gift boxes were individually packed by families in the USA.
It was an educational morning for both children and parents, who left more knowledgeable about how to deal with unsafe situations.
