\u201cWe do this because we believe that every child has the right to become socially responsible adults, reaching their full God-given potential, within society. We render these services through a child and youth care centre, a special needs school, our charity shop which doubles up as skills development for young adults, a working care farm and youth skills development and mentorship programme,\u201d says Bianca Wichtmann from Home of Hope.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Loadshedding woes<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
With Eskom being unpredictable and not knowing when loadshedding will hit, the organisation was in dire straits and in need of a generator to use for their Christmas lights event. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Just days after TygerBurger<\/em> contacted the organisation, Christmas came early for them after a solar company reached out offering assistance. <\/p>\n\n\n\nThe event will run between 16 and 30 December from 20:00 to 22:00 at 3 Fairbridge Road, Table View. Entrance is free.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cVarious things will happen on different nights \u2013 people can view all of this on our facebook page: HomeofhopeCT. We have a few fundraising initiatives coming in the new year. We have many donation options visible on our website and many ways in which people can get involved,\u201d Wichtmann says. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Donate for a good cause<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
While you are setting up your Christmas decorations, doing your yearly clean out and finding items you no longer need or use, think of Home of Hope. Donate your unwanted goods to them this Christmas. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
When you donate you are directly helping them raise funds for their organisation \u201cand ensuring that we provide the best care services and skills development to children and young adults with special needs\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A display for children at last year\u2019s event. <\/div>\n
<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\nDrop off the items at 215 Blaauwberg Road, Table View, Monday to Friday from 09:00 \u2013 16:00 and Saturday from 09:00 \u201314:00.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cPeople are welcome to donate their unwanted goods to us that we can use in our projects or sell in our charity shop to generate an income. Funds raised in our shops go directly towards the care of our beneficiaries. Monetary donations or signing up for our sponsor a child programme also helps in a massive way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThe Christmas Lights event is a wonderful opportunity for the family to come together \u2013 it is wonderful for old and young. There will be snacks and food available and a Santa\u2019s visit on specific nights. It really is worth it,\u201d Wichtman says. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
