Each year Embark Foundation supplies West Rand Christian Centre with enough wool to knit 500 jerseys for children in our communities with little or no warm clothes for the Winter.
We donated these beautiful jerseys over the past few weeks in areas such as Zandspruit Informal Settlement, Golang a childcare programme at our Emthonjeni community Centre and Esperanza Primary.
Thank you to everybody that takes hands with us to make a difference in each of these precious children’s lives, especially during these cold day and nights.
On Thursday the 14th of July we received a generous donation of almost 100 blankets from Soulstice Day Spa, as an initiative run by the manager Marilu Olwagen and her colleagues. These blankets were handed out to our ladies from the West Rand Christian Centre and also surrounding families - these blankets are truly a blessing to these families in the middle of winter.
Each year Embark Foundation supplies West Rand Christian Centre with enough wool to knit 500 jerseys. Of these jerseys a 100 will be donated back to the community of Claremont; 150 to Esperanza Primary School and 250 to the Golang project at Emthonjeni Community Centre in Zandspruit Informal Settlement.
This initiative creates work for 30 jobless mothers whom each receive a small incentive.
Clothing 4 Children
The next Clothing 4 Children project will be commencing this coming Friday where the students of Florida High school will be collecting Clothing for Children in need.
Embark Foundation:
It was such a privilege for Embark Foundation to form part of the Clothing 4 Children project on Monday the 23rd of May 2011.
The students of Noordheuwel High School collected literally thousands of bags of clothing for children between the ages of 5 – 18 years of age.
The clothing was handed out in a matter of hours to a network of projects and ministries involved in some manner of looking after the poor and needy in our society.
