On Monday 18 November 2019 the Rotary Club of Newlands (RCN) and Coca-Cola Peninsula Beverages (CCPB) launched the new and improved Emmanuel Day Care Centre in Sherwood Park, Atlantis.
In 2011 the Emmanuel Day Care Centre acquired the existing property and buildings for R1,5 million, with CSI funding from CCPB.
RCN arranged the acquisition and has recently coordinated the extensive maintenance and building improvements at a cost of R450 000 said John Joubert, Peninsula Beverages’ commercial director. He said CCPB agreed to fund the maintenance, partitioning of new office space, revamping of existing rooms, replacement of floor tiling and repairing of lighting and electrical circuits.
“We are so thankful to the Rotary Club of Newlands and Coca-Cola Peninsula Beverages for their contribution over the years,” said Joyce Anderson, centre manager.
“We feel very privileged to be associated with them because they have the interest of our special needs’ children so near and dear to their hearts.
“Their recent improvements to our facilities, including making it disability friendly, allow us to take in more kids in the new year she said thankfully. I simply can’t thank them enough.”
Since its inception, CCPB has built a strong legacy of giving back to various communities, Joubert said.
