Annual charity event at Unitas
An annual charity event was held at Netcare Unitas Hospital on Saturday.
The pharmacy at Netcare Unitas hospital held their eighth annual charity morning tea on Saturday.
This year the pharmacy collected goods for the Via Nova school in East Lynne.
Via Nova School caters for pupils with special educational needs, specialising in care for those with severe intellectual barriers.
The school admits children with special educational needs (LSEN) from all over Gauteng, and from other provinces in certain cases. There are 462 pupils in the school this year.
According to Susan du Plessis, event organiser, a different beneficiary is chosen every year and instead of asking for money, they encourage their guests to bring much needed goods for these organisations, including food and toiletries.
“This particular school also has a residence for several of their pupils and they have a great need for curtains, shoes and swimwear, besides food and other necessities,” Du Plessis said.
The function was held at the Unitas lecture hall and roughly 140 people attended.
