Staff members brought along lots of goodies including groceries, toiletries and diapers, which were welcomed by Lucilia Jacinto who runs The Lighthouse.
Not only did the staff bring the donations but enjoyed time with the children and young adults, giving them lunch too. “This is our 67 minutes for Mandela Day, and it means a lot to us to be able to spend time here,” said Rehana Carim who organised the visit.
“This is absolutely fantastic and will keep us going for a while. We are ever so grateful for these donations and your time spent with us here today,” said Lucilia.
Fun games were played and lunch was enjoyed before the team from Imperial Tipper Resources said their goodbyes. “It was such a pleasure to visit,” added Rehana.
