Helping out in the community after floods

Busamed Modderfontein staff gave some of their time and love over a three-day period to the Alexandra community.

Busamed Modderfontein staff gave some of their time and love over a three-day period to the Alexandra community.
They donated and handed out clothes and toiletries, loaves of bread, juice and fresh fruit, together with a truck load of bottled water donated by Aquazania, to the community after the recent floods.
Ms Madeleine Goncalves, the marketing manager for Busamed Modderfontein Private Hospital, said staff members were saddened by the devastation of the area and the community at large.
“People were still trying to retrieve building materials, blankets and other belongings that had been displaced in the flood. We handed the donations to the officials from The Gift of the Givers who assisted in the distribution,” said Ms Goncalves.
She said the team met with the young parents of the missing three-year-old girl who had been swept away and who was still missing.
“The Busamed Modderfontein Emergency Response team has been assisting the K9 and Diver team with the search for the missing little girl,” said Ms Goncalves.
