Our 8th Celebration Week function was a huge success, thanks to all our members who took part. We managed to raise R55 476.00 for this worthy cause. The charity we chose this year is a local one in Atlantis called Emmanuel Day Care Centre. The Centre takes care of 41 mentally challenged children aged between 2 and 25. The centre was originally started by the parents of the children to enable the parents to go out to work, or have a break from the relentless care of their child. The Centre greatly relies on donations to keep the facility going. It costs R 6000 per month to transport the kids daily to and from the centre, and in total approximately R 20 000 per month to keep it going with food & supplies etc. The small government subsidy does not cover food for one day. I am sure we’ve made a difference to enhance the life of these special children.
