InCity Security showed that they care about the community when they recently installed an alarm system at Care Bear Gauteng Place of Safety, in Elsburg.<\/p>\n

Care Bear Gauteng is a home that cares for abused children.<\/p>

<\/div>\n

The alarm system was installed free of charge.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe installed a full alarm system for the safety of the children,\u201d said InCity Security\u2019s community and media liaison, Debbie Panaino-Potgieter.<\/p>

<\/div>\n

\u201cThese children are placed in safety by welfare organisations due to abuse.\u201d<\/p>\n

InCity Security will also monitor the home at no cost.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is our donation to the home. We will monitor and respond to any incident at the home,\u201d said general and operations manager, Steve Jansen.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is a house of safety and we have to ensure the children are safe at all times.\u201d<\/p>\n

Panaino-Potgieter said the community needs to know that there is a place of safety in the area.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe would like people to get more involved in supporting the home,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is also important for the community to know that the home doesn\u2019t have a drop-off system. It works with welfare organisations.\u201d<\/p>\n

The home currently houses six children.<\/p>\n

\"InCity<\/a>
InCity Security\u2019s technician, Prosper Ngorima, was happy to install the alarm system at Care Bear Gauteng.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Zenobia Venter, the house mother at Care Bear Gauteng, said she is very appreciative of what InCity Security is doing for them.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe appreciate the donation and know that it will help us a lot,\u201d said Venter.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe alarm system is not the only thing that Panaino-Potgieter and Jensen have helped us with.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf it wasn\u2019t for them, people wouldn\u2019t know much about the home; through them we have people who support us and help with other needs.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe have received baby formula, nappies and toys, among other things, from the community because of Panaino-Potgieter\u2019s help.\u201d<\/p>\n

Panaino-Potgieter said her love for people is the one thing that motivates her to help wherever she can.<\/p>\n

She also told the GCN that she gets support and advice from Jansen to help community members.<\/p>\n

\u201cInCity Security has always been a community project supporter and Panaino-Potgieter and I are passionate about helping our community,\u201d said Jansen.<\/p>\n

Panaino-Potgieter and Jansen said that they care and are willing to assist wherever they can.<\/p>\n

Venter said the support from Panaino-Potgieter, Jansen and InCity has given her hope.<\/p>\n

\u201cI am very grateful to them. This actually shows me that there are people out there who really care,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n
