Child protection awareness day in Eldorado Park draws large crowd
The event, held at 1 Boundary Road, exceeded attendance expectations, reaching over 100 child beneficiaries with crucial information from partners like the Teddy Bear Clinic, Child Welfare Organization, and local SAPS.

According to Johanna Matjiela, a social auxiliary worker at PUSH, the high turnout meant their message reached a wider audience than anticipated.
