Children at Seed of Hope enjoy a movie day
For many of the children in the after-school programme, it was their first time at a movie theatre.
THE children in the Seed of Hope Simunye After-School Programme were recently sponsored a movie day by Galleria Mall.
Delight and giggles filled Galleria’s passages as children from the Bhekulwandle community, who are part of the Seed of Hope Simunye After-School Programme, visited Nu Metro to watch the much-anticipated Superpets.

“For many of the children, it was their first time going to a movie theatre. With popcorn and cool drinks in hand, a gasp filled the air as the lights went down and the movie began. A huge thank you to the Galleria team for arranging this special trip for the Simunye children, and thank you to Nu Metro for the five-star treatment that was afforded to these young learners,” said Seed of Hope child and youth manager, Nozipho Dhlamini.
Galleria Mall marketing manager Anusha Timul said the mall is committed to seeing the surrounding communities develop and prosper.
Dhlamini added that “Through our Seed of Hope After-School Programme, we are able to help about 55 learners from schools in our area with academic support, introduction to our farming and computer skills programmes, as well as providing opportunities for participation in arts and craft activities.”
