Chantall Goosen and some of the children enjoy some cake.
The GCN team paid a visit to the Lambano Sanctuary, in Wychwood, on Wednesday, as part of our community project, “City News Caring for the Community”.
After a tour of the organisation’s hospice and one of the four homes under Lambano Sanctuary’s umbrella the team was put to work, entertaining, interacting with and helping the children.
GCN’s sales consultant, Chantall Goosen, and sports journalist Puleng Sekabate visited with the children of house number 36.
Chantall got right into the thick of things, asking the children a series of questions.
Questions included fun things like what their favourite sweets are? Their hobbies? Who is the naughtiest in the house?
The team also wanted to find out what plans the children have for the future, which high school they hope to attend and what they would like to do as a career in the future.
The visit ended with Puleng showing off her skills in a game of soccer with the younger children, and cake-tasting.
The children had baked a cake for Megan Allmon, who was visiting from the United States.
Journalist Leigh Hodgson and editor Melissa Hart visited another house in the Lambano Sanctuary group and helped the older children, who stay at the home, and assistant house mother Emma Madela to clean the house’s ”classroom”, where they do their homework in the afternoon.
The clean-up didn’t take long with everyone pitching in and talk turned to what the children plan to do in the future.
