The vandalizing of the fence especially happens on the freeway side of the property.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cA huge concern is the increase in absconding of Oosterland children. The dilapidated security fence makes it easier for these children to abscond from the Centre.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>According to Morton, to repair the fence to keep their children, staff and assets safe and secure, the Centre is under financial strain as these costs were not budgeted for. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cBut if businesses will take on Recchia\u2019s challenge, the new fence might soon be a reality. Oosterland is exempted from tax and thus we can issue an Article 18A certificate to those businesses and individuals assisting us in this matter,\u201d said Morton.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>To find out how to get involved with the Oosterland security fence project contact Annelie Morton at 083 472 9255 or e-mail fundraiser.oosterland@gmail.com or Travis Marshall at oosterland.youthcare@gmail.com <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>THE challenge is on \u2013 Oosterland Child and Youth Care Centre in Despatch \u2013 urgently needs to upgrade its security fence at an estimated cost of R150 000.
