Rotarians reach out to Wild Wild Guardians
Henri welcomes the care bags donated from Rotary Club of Springs.
Henry Harber from Wild Wild Guardians was recently an honoured guest at a Rotary Club of Springs meeting held at Casa Nossa in Selection Park.
He gave the members an informative talk about what his organisation is about and how the community can get involved and assist them.
According to Harber, the public should not turn a blind eye to what is happening in their neighbourhood.
“People should report child abuse to the police,” he says.
During this meeting the president, Siobheanne Landsberg, handed over 20 care bags containing toiletries to the children currently in the care of Harber and his wife, Margie.
Harber says children who are removed from their homes usually have nothing except the clothes they are wearing.
“These care bags will be a welcome gift to all of them,” he says.
Landsberg says that it is especially the children removed from their homes or who are picked up off the streets and have no possessions of their own who will benefit from these care bags.
The bags contain basic toiletries including a toothbrush, toothpaste, soap, shampoo, a face cloth, comb and a motivational message from the Rotarians.
The Rotarians feel strongly that all children have a right to dignity.
“Basic cleanliness is a good place to start,” says Rotarian Cheryl Havenga.
