Clothes for Children

Thanks to the generosity of the following donors it was possible to provide for 340 of the most needy of these.  Midge & Betty Mitchell (Texas USA), Barbara & Jerry Jacobs (Texas USA), Debby Everrit-Murray (USA), Tore & Birget Haugerud (Norway), Dr Ethel Barrow (UK/RSA) and Ackermans (Oudtshoorn RSA).

Thanks are also due to the following members of the Uniondale community who gave of their time to implement the project on the ground.  Rev.Steven Anthony, Councillor Daphne Loff, Johanna Hodgson, Tharina Lamprecht, Anthony Prins, Dave Hodgson, the school principals of Avontuur, Haarlem, Dirk Boshoff, De Hoop, Rooirivier, Kommandantsdrift and Uniondale, Mr.Piet Swart and Sister Sharon Arends.

Each parcel of clothes contained a warm top, long pants, socks and shoes and was received with joy by each lucky child.  This project is ongoing, however, as even last winter's beneficiaries had only the one set of winter clothing and will surely wear it out before next winter.  Other long-term projects are in hand to try and address the causes of poverty but we rely on the generosity of our sponsors to bridge the gap.

      Please help a child.  You'll be glad you did!
