One thing all new mothers can agree on is that their little bundles of joy never stop growing.<\/p>\n
Before you know it your baby has outgrown its wonderful little outfits, even those it never got the chance to wear.<\/p>
Instead of throwing these outfits into storage and forgetting about them, why not help a baby in need? Simply donate your pre-loved baby clothes to the El-Shammah Home for Abandoned Babies and Place of Safety, in Primrose.<\/p>\n
Your donation, however small, could make an amazing difference in the life of a baby who has nothing.<\/p>
The home was officially opened on May 13, 2009 and is currently run by Alistair and Merencia Scholtz.<\/p>\n
The facility is not an orphanage, but rather a place of safety, where abandoned babies can stay and be cared for and loved until the Children\u2019s Court decides what their future holds.<\/p>\n
