For the next three years, Life Roseacres Hospital has pledged to support El-Shammah Home for Abandoned Babies and Place of Safety in any way they can.<\/p>\n
\u201cEach Life hospital has a Sizanani project, which they are dedicated to for three years.<\/p>
\u201cWe, at Roseacres, have a passion for children, previously choosing to support Laerskool Die President, and so decided that El-Shammah was a great fit for us,\u201d explained Karen Landsberg, the hospital\u2019s marketing co-ordinator.<\/p>\n
To mark the start of the partnership hospital staff visited the home in Primrose, which offers a place of safety where abandoned babies can stay, be cared for and loved until the children\u2019s court decides what their future holds, to hand over a donation on Wednesday.<\/p>
The donation consisted of clothes, medicines, baby formula, nappies and baby products such as bum cream, soap and shampoo.<\/p>\n
The collection was a result of a two-month drive held internally by the hospital, which saw donations from doctors, nurses and other hospital staff.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt was wonderful to see how willing everyone was to donate to the cause.<\/p>\n
\u201cShowing that if you have a group of people willing to make a difference you can,\u201d said Karen.<\/p>\n
Allistair and Merencia Scholtz, who has managed the home since September 2016, were grateful for the donations and welcomed the team to the home with open arms.<\/p>\n
