Transforming our space just in time for the big 50! Huge thanks to our amazing painters for working their magic. 🙌🏢

We were honored to join the Old Apostolic Church at City of David in New Brighton to distribute blankets to our cherished elderly community members. Thank you to everyone involved for making this heart-warming project a massive success! 💙
We extend our heartfelt gratitude to board member Mr Richard Piyose for his outstanding support. His dedication continues to make a meaningful impact on our organization.

It is with a heavy heart that I share the news of the passing of our dear colleague, Loyiso John. His warm presence, kindness, and dedication to our team will never be forgotten. You were so much more than just a co-worker. My deepest thoughts and prayers are with your family and loved ones during this incredibly difficult time. Rest in peace. 🕊️🕯️
