Birthday celebration for Jehovah Jireh kids

Jehovah Jireh Children’s home in Alexandria last weekend celebrated the October birthdays of five of the centre’s 75 children.

Resident pastor Duncan Mbhele explained that they organise a joint party for all the children born in a particular month in the first week of the following month.

The children enjoyed sweets, juice, ice-cream and other delicious goodies, along with fun games and activities to mark the occasion. Five other children from the centre each received a R100 voucher from Christo Pienaar of SaveMor in Alexandria to buy any product of their choice.

The voucher was a reward for good behaviour and diligence in their school work.

Port Alfred Pick n Pay owner Lucinda van Jaarsveld donated the cake and told the children that she would donate three R500 Pick n Pay clothing vouchers for the top three achievers in the end-of-year exams.
