“They have approximately 120 children aged from one to 18 years. They receive a grant from the government for 80 children, so are always in need of help,” said Van der Schyf.
“We decided on shoes, since this is something people sometimes forget when they donate. However, they are in need of clothes, socks, sport and school supplies. Nothing is unwelcome.”
The Lions Club received the generous donation from SuperSPAR Polofields – 60 pairs of Bata school shoes and a couple of boxes of Easter eggs.
The founder and managing director of the children’s home, Anna Mojapelo, thanked the Lions Club of Midrand, as well as everyone in the community for their continued support of the home.
