Tough times at Mother of Peace
MOTHER of Peace (MOP) is in difficulties trying to feed and continue caring for the 81 children who live at the organisation in Lower Illovo.
“It has been extremely difficult to raise funds in the current economic conditions,” said the organisation's Pauline McMahon.
They appeal for the following donations: Sugar, flour, rice, mealie meal, tinned goods, samp, beans, tea/coffee, peanut butter, jam, oil, Christmas treats for the children and housemothers.
Any other food donations and or finances to buy Christmas presents for the children would be welcome.
Anyone able to assist, contact Pauline on 031-916-2299 or 083-454-0264 or alternatively contact Gavin Gradwell on 082-200-9614.
MOP Communities restores traditional family life, in particular the Catholic family way of life based on Christian gospel values and the teachings of the Catholic Church.
The organisation currently cares for 70 children by providing the structure of a home and family, maintaining language and cultural identities where possible and bringing up children to be responsible members of society.
