WESLANDER STORY

Yesterday MAB showcased the newly upgraded child friendly Parow Court to the media and our sponsors. It was a very special occassion and many of us shed a quiet tear! Thank you very much to Ronel and her staff at the court and all the sponsors for making this possible.

THANK YOU GRAIN CARE TRUST

Just a short note to thank you for your kind donation of R10 000 to Matla A Bana - A voice against child abuse. Your contribution will go towards helping one of the many children who reports crimes against them to the police. Last year our projects reached more than 13 800 of these children.

Update Parow Court

Yesterday we had a very special moment at Parow Court. We were busy painting the walls in the reception area, when two young girls who were waiting for the court offered to help us paint. We do not know what was done to these to beautiful girls, we only know that despite their pain, they were willing to help to make a difference. Let this be an example for all out there!

Project update: Chester House Teddy Donation

The teddy bears that was donated to Parow Court by Chester House was used to give to rape victims at a Christmas party hosted by the court in December. The rest of the bears will be given to children during the court process. Thanx a mil once again Chester House for the wonderful donation!

Thank you TTV Fluval!

Thank you to Frank Ohlsen and his TTV Fluval Group of companies who has donated R60000 towards Matla A Bana again this year!

Ground Patrol visits MAB WC

The KFM Ground Patrol paid a visit to MAB WC office today playing early Father Christmas. The team delivered boxes full of gifts for abused children. Although we were very happy to see the team, we realised that these gifts were going to be given to children who will be abused during a time when other people will celebrate. Thnx KFM and Ground Patrol for your support!

AGM 2011

The MAB AGM 2011 was hosted on 6 Dec 2011 in Gauteng. There was a lot of tears and great joy when many of our sponsors received their Certificates of Recognition. After a drop of more than 200% of donor funding, we have still managed to achieve many great successes! We would like to thank all our adoptive churches, sponsors and volunteers for your support. Also a special word of thanks to Rooi Rose editor, Martie Pansegrouw, for many wise words! See you all again next year!

Thank you to Radio Tygerberg for sponsoring this airtime worth more than R100000.

Thank you Rays of Hope!

Thank you Rays of Hope (Rosebank Union Church) for the donation of R 50 000 towards our Adoption Project. This was raced by a small group of people who either cycled, organised or supported the annual Race of Hope. It was a pleasure partnering with such a great group of people!
