The Voortrekker Road Corridor Improvement District (VRCID) says it will continue to work with non-government organisations such as Universal Change 4 Albinism Nobles (Ucan) after taking hands with the non-government organisation last week in cleaning up the streets of Parow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ucan, who promotes awareness and gives assistance to people living with albinism, was also joined by Mould Empower Serve (MES), who works with homeless people, on the day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Wilma Piek, social development manager, says as the VRCID they will share the goals of their different organisations and hope to partner in the future with the organisation, to assist each other where necessary.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The clean-up campaign was held on Freedom Day (Wednesday 27 April).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cFreedom Day is all about human rights and opportunities for those who did not have it in the past, but also in our book about awareness of the human rights of marginalised people in our communities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe often deal with the homeless population as a marginalised group, but this year we are also taking hands with Ucan to create awareness about the challenges of the albino population.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cLike our belief that the homeless population has such a lot to offer and contribute to the community if we create the right avenues and pathways out of homelessness, we also believe that people who live with albinism have a huge contribution to make in uplifting our community and contributing to the cleanliness and sustainability of our area,\u201d Piek says.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
