Observatory’s Uitkoms Home for Girls has asked the public for donations.

The home’s Grade 12 learners are busy with online learning at home but expenses have not otherwise changed for Uitkoms during the lockdown.

In fact, having all the girls at the home every day for the whole day means that more groceries, electricity and data are used.

Uitkoms has asked for cleaning materials and soap bars, which are on its needs calendar for April and May, and also:

Chicken
Beef
Rice
Baked beans
Tinned fish
Margarine
Spaghetti and macaroni
Powdered soup packs
Cooking oil
Snacks such as popcorn or potato chips
Sanitiser
Toilet paper
Dish washing liquid
Washing powder

The home thanked everyone who has supported them and said they appreciate every donated item.Items can be delivered to 1140 St George’s Road, Observatory, any time between 8am and 4pm.
