Birthday treats for children’s home

- Sylvia Roux

The birthday party that was held on Saturday 3 September at Jehovah Jireh Haven children’s home in Alexandria was a huge success thanks to all our donors.

But especially MJ and Lucinda, owners of Pick n Pay, who so generously donated this magnificen­t cake which was large enough for 75 children and some adults in the mix as well! They also donated potato crisps and cold drinks with a promise to provide the same for future parties, one for every month of the year.

Other donors we want to mention are Christo, owner of SaveMor who donated icecream: the kids really enjoyed this special treat. Thank you, Christo, who has also promised his ongoing support.

A huge thank you to Vicky Keiser who donated tons of party goodies from her former kiddies party business and helped to make this day a success. I don’t know whether I would have coped without Vicky.

I also want to thank everyone who has so generously supported the children’s home in various other ways there are too many to mention, may God bless you in return for your generosity.

The kids had great fun with activities like Can Tossing, Freeze Dancing and the Sack Races which they seemed to really enjoy.

We will be having the next party on Saturday 1 October when we will celebrate the birthdays of seven of our children. Should anyone wish to participat­e or donate in any way please contact Sylvia Roux 076455-5144. Your help with toys, wool, bedding, clothing, any craft material, books etc. would be highly appreciate­d. Many hands make lighter work!
