Help NPO reach its Mandela dream
Spend your 67 minutes helping the Robin Hood Foundation with its Mandela Remembrance Week campaigns.
A LOCAL non profit organisation, The Robin Hood Foundation, will be spending 67 minutes during Mandela Remembrance Week tending to the young, disabled and elderly residents in the community.
The Foundation will be visiting crèches and old age homes from Sunday, 13 July to Friday, 18 July, and on Wednesday, 16 July the NPO will be visiting the ‘old’ Hillcrest Hospital.
“We really want to bless the disabled and elderly residents at the hospital with a special ‘Tea and Time’ and are encouraging local residents to sponsor cakes, biscuits, savoury snacks, a blanket or beanie as part of their 67 minutes of making a difference.
The other option is for people to donate R67 to our ‘Buy-A-Brick’ campaign which is enabling us to build a 64 square meter crèche in rural Mariannhill,” said Kim Griffith Jones, coordinator for the Robin Hood Foundation.
Various local organisations have supported the foundation’s ‘Buy-A-Brick’ campaign, which was implemented in order to enhance and expand the Uminathi Crèche in rural Mariannhill.
More than R52 000 has been donated towards the cause, but the foundation still needs to raise an additional R50 000 to complete the upgrade.
Once complete, the crèche staff will have enough room to educate the existing 30 pupils and increase their numbers to over 60 pupils.
The new structure will also provide the pre-school pupils with a safe and warm environment, which includes a hygienic ablution facility, kitchenette and store room facility.
The Robin Hood Foundation drop off points are: Chilli Source at 62 Old Main Road in Kloof, Wool and Weave in Lillies Quarters in Hillcrest and Pro Appointments – Unit 6, The Views, 11 The Boulevard, Westway Office Park in Westville.
