During the welcoming speeches, the pastor was told about the plight and challenges of the area and how she can assist. Poverty, crime, drugs and prostitution were among the challenges mentioned.
“We welcome the pastor in this area, she must feel at home. We need prayers in this area, if the prayer had to come from America, let it be. Dr Kimberly Quinton, you came at a very interesting time of our country, the new dawn. However, we cannot ignore the brutality the women are facing. We as men have a duty and a task to stand up and fight the abuse of women,” said Simphiwe Hlafa who represented Sanco.
The partnership of all the stakeholders will benefit the learners at La Rochelle Primary School. Most of the learners come from disadvantaged families, sometimes learners come to school hungry.
Quinton will be touring the school on June 29 to establish the extent of the needs they have. Everyone is invited to the school. The COURIER will do a follow-up article.
