Blankets to Karnallieland and the CMR


On Thurday 22 July, Rotarians Solly Mogola, Alta Baartman and Anja Chrissopolous had the privilege of handing out 80 blankets to needy disabled children and elderly identified by CMR and Karnallie Land. This was very sad to see the definite need for these blankets and the expressions of joy upon receipt of much needed blankets. It is a pity that we will never have enough to address these needs fully.
Karnallie Land Care centre was initiated by Marie – CMR, she identified that there is disabled children that is left home alone daily by their working parents. She then decided to collect these children daily and take care of them until the parents collect them after work. They do get one balanced cooked meal daily and the care givers try to keep them busy with painting, reading books etc. Marie has 4 volunteers assisting her with this huge responsibility to care for these children. The Rotary Club of Middelburg donated 20 blankets to them.
CMR Middelburg, the Rotary club of Middelburg delivered 60 blankets to them for their different project in Nazareth, Mhluzi, Avalon and Chromeville. These blankets will go to the neediest families. There were 2 families whose houses unfortunately burned down and Rotary could supply these most needed blankets at the coldest time of winter.
