Khumbulani is a centre for kids in Khayelitsha between the ages of 0 to about 13 years, managed by an amazing lady called Gloria Bebeza. Run out of a two roomed house, Gloria cares for about 160 HIV infected or affected children daily. In addition to this, Gloria runs a soup kitchen for the local community feeding up to 350 people a day!
Rhino Africa has been supporting Khumbulani for several years with monthly donations, and by feeding Gloria’s children.
KFC (Khumbulani Festive Committee) met this afternoon. We have decided to throw a Christmas party for those adorable kids once again. The party will take place next Friday 10 December at 10am. It really is a wonderful way to spend a morning.
We’re buying presents for the children which we’ll hand out next Friday.
We’re looking for donations which you can drop off at the Rhino Africa offices (81 St John’s Street, Cape Town, 8001) anytime before next Friday which we will gladly take along for you.
Alternatively, you can join us on Friday when we go to Khumbulani and give your donations to the children yourselves! We will meet at the Rhino Africa offices at 9.30am next Friday 10 December with Santa in tow! Just meet us at our offices – we’ll have a number of vehicles going.
Donations can include old toys, old clothes, shoes, linen, towels, cups, dried foods (oats, tea, jam, sugar etc), canned foods and cleaning products. You can also donate money into our Challenge4aCause account which we will give to the staff of Khumbulani as Christmas bonuses.
