Masequa cares for vulnerable children

 

Masequa Bricks extended its caring hand again by donating stationery, food and toys to orphans and vulnerable children at Mamvuka Drop-in Centre last Thursday.

The company donated stationery, which includes books and school bags, to the value of R20 000. According to the managing director, Ms Annamarie Bothma, the donation was part of the 67 minutes dedicated to honour former president Nelson Mandela on his 94th birthday.

It was a happy day for the 160 orphans and vulnerable children. Mamvuka Drop-in Centre was first established in 2005. It looks after the children who often drop by to get a meal after school every day.

Bothma said that she was touched by the plight of the poor children. A friend of Bothma's, Ms Felicity Martin from Sydney in Australia, pledged to source other sponsors from her country to assist the destitute the children.

The centre is now faced with a huge challenge of a shortage of food. The children are sometimes going to school without food. The centre manager, Mr Samuel Maphari, expressed his appreciation to Masequa Bricks for the donation.
