AfriForum bring Kersfees na Boksburg Die plaaslike AfriForum se Kersprojek het op 14 Desember talle harte bly gemaak toe hulle die strate van Boksburg ingevaar het om geskenkpakkies vir kinders uit te deel. Lede van AfriForum, Makopano Risk Solutions en AAA Alarms het deur die omgewing van Comet en Cason gery in motors wat met kersliggies versier is. Kersvader was agter op een van die bakkies en het die geskenke vir die kinders gegee. Die geskenkpakkies, wat deur Window of Hope en Sovereign Safety geborg is, bevat skryfbehoeftes, lekkers en ‘n geskenk. Die pakkies is gesaniteer en die organisasie het aan al die Covid-19 regulasies voldoen. Volgens die plaaslike tak se skakelbeampte, Gerald O’Kelly, was die eerste aand van die projek ‘n reuse sukses. “Hierdie was ‘n moeilike jaar danksy die pandemie en daarom wil ons vreugte en die gees van Kersfees verspei,” het hy vertel. O’Kelly het al die borge bedank wat bygedra het tot die sukses van die projek. “Ek wil dankie sê aan elke borg en persoon wat die inisiatief ondersteun het. Ons sou nie die projek sonder hulle hulp kon doen nie,” het hy bygevoeg. Die lede het al 150 geskenke uitgedeel en sal ook deur loop van die week nog geskenke in ander dele van Boksburg uitdeel. Hier gee Kersvader (Daniel Ross) vir Vhugale Netshitomboni sy geskenk. Foto: Tayla Smit. 2 Friday, December 25, 2020 . BOKSBURG ADVERTISER NEWS | www.boksburgadvertiser.co.za Got a story?
