Cupcakes for Amadea

Faces brightened when the children of Amadea Home of Safety got their chance to decorate and eat yummy cupcakes.

Wayne Stafford, Bachelor SA for 2015, hosted the afternoon at Annica’s Cakes in Ferndale on 26 November. Guests were asked to pay R100 that would be donated to the school and a gift of Annica’s signature cupcakes.

Amadea is a safe home based in Pretoria for abused, abandoned and neglected children. The children are aged from between two years old to 13. They work closely with all the social welfare organisations in Pretoria and surrounding areas. Amadea House is situated on a smallholding and is being used as a facility accommodating children full time in a loving family environment. They focus on early childhood development, healthcare and skills development for the older children.

Karen Van Huyssteen from My Eagle Canyon arrived with bundles of Christmas presents for the children.

“The residents gathered together to give these children each a gift for the festive season.” [who is saying this?]

Rina Malan, founder of Amadea, said, “This is a great experience for our children; it’s nice for them to feel normal and to know that there are people in the community far and wide who care for them,” said Malan.

Stafford added, “I’ve been working with Rina and the children for some time and I think it’s important to show them how loved they are. I want to thank all the people who made this day possible and warmed the hearts of these children.”
