VOLUNTEERS and local non-profit organisations (NPO) joined the Amanzimtoti Community Police Forum (ACPF) when it hosted a delightful fun day in Illovo for NPO, Mother of Peace, on June 20.

The youth outreach programme provided a special opportunity to connect with the NPO’s children.

Estelle van Eeden, public relations officer for the ACPF, said many of the children cared for by Mother of Peace are separated from family and do not have the opportunity to celebrate Father’s Day the traditional way.

“We hope and trust that each child was reminded that they are loved and valued,” said Van Eeden.

She added that enthusiastic youth representatives from Adam’s Mission shared a short devotional item and led a time of singing, followed by a quiz and reminder about the history and meaning of youth month by ACPF chairperson, Merlene Matthew.

“We want to model positive behaviour, sharing positive values and morals, and stand as role models worth emulating. This day would not have been possible without our generous sponsors, some gave of their time, others contributed donations in kind. Thank you to BB Bakeries, Kip McGrath Amanzimtoti, Blue Security Durban, Under the Juniper Tree and Jarefs Paints and DIY Centre,” said Van Eeden.
