The Morning Star Children’s Centre is making an urgent appeal for winter clothing. The centre was born out of a Christian compassion for the plight South Africa found itself in during the height of the HIV/AIDS pandemic.
“And 25 years later we are still committed to restoring hope to the women and children of our region and making a difference to as many families as possible. Winter is here, and we are in need of winter clothing. In fact, our cupboards are almost depleted, testimony to our inability to keep pace with supply and demand. Warm clothing is essential, as many of our children have an immune system that is already compromised, live in accommodation that often lacks any form of heating, so dressing warmly becomes a matter of survival. Please open your hearts and help us, as you have done in the past,” says Joan Adams, project ambassador.
Adams says they will accept and appreciate any winter clothing.
“But our immediate needs are focused towards supplying our older children aged 5 to 12 years and upwards, with warm long trousers, jerseys, track tops, long sleeved T-shirts, socks and warm winter jackets. It would be impossible to continue our ministry without your ongoing help,” she says.
Donations can be dropped off at the Morning Star Centre, situated at Kopano Complex, Meulen Road, (opposite Mediclinic) or alternatively, Morning Star could arrange to collect.
