The 58th Art in the park event which was held at the PMB Botanical gardens was definitely a place to be. This oldest and most prestigious art event began in Alexandra Park with only few artists. Years later, Art exhibitors interact and sell their works directly to the public. Art in park festival plays an important role in the lives of many local artists besides the fact that it is a key event o the city calendar. Our matric students had the opportunity to attend this event as well as partake in a school competition called “through the eye of a child” whereby a child’s creativity is tested by drawing representations of a chosen topic. A huge appreciation goes out to Creative Arts College for organizing our complimentary tickets on behalf of our pupils and giving them an opportunity to be part of this inspiring event.       
 

Why do we celebrate nurses day? This special day is set aside to celebrate the incredible work of our nurses as well as their collective effort in sustaining health care systems. This day is also meant to celebrate the founder of modern nursing Florence Nightingale who laid a foundation around the year 1860 with the establishment of her nursing school in London. 
To show appreciation to the team that doesn’t just treat their patients but a dedicated group that also promotes heath in the communities, our children decided to make this day extra special for our nurses in Woodlands clinic and Northdale hospital by creating appreciation cards for all the staff nurses.
A special Thank You to the medical personnel that help us take care of our children!

Child protection week is commemorated annually to raise awareness about the rights of children as articulated in the Constitution of the Republic of South Africa and in the children’s Act. This year the campaign ran from the  29th of May to the 5th of June. Our children had a program and the main issue they tackled was Teenage Pregnancy. The statistics show that -16 million girls aged 15-19 years give birth every year, – Pregnancy complications is the 2nd highest cause of death in 15-19 year old girls and 3 million 15-19 year old girls have unsafe abortions every year. On this day our children looked at the causes of teenage pregnancy as well as the consequences of this on the individual and the child.
”Let us all protect children during covid-19 and beyond”

Tekkie tax stickers are still available at just R10. Join us on this year’s campaign and let us be “Better Together”.

A huge appreciation also goes out to everyone who has supported us in our campaign, from the companies and schools to individuals who have visited our stalls around the malls in PMB, Howick as well as Hilton. Thank you for your ongoing support.

Transactions made with simplicity. We often encounter people who want to purchase or make a donation on the spot and the problem is always the fact that we don’t have a card machine to complete this transaction. That is why we have a new and quick way to make payment. It’s simple as 123…remember to tap, swipe or insert your card to complete a transaction.

This initiative partners with over 138  beneficiaries to ensure that children are receiving a nutritious meal daily.

When buying a meal you simply Add R2 for Add Hope to your bill…
Donations are also made by KFC…All that donations goes to the KFC Social Responsibility Trust…who then allocates to suitable applicants
through the Add Hope Ccampaign.
(This Campaign feeds nutritious meals to over 120 000 children every day in South Africa, and PCH is one of their beneficiaries)
