Hearts Warmed with Blanket Donations

Our residents have once again made a signifcant difference in the lives of those in need. Through the Val de Vie Foundation, 100 blankets were recently donated to the Gratefulness Community Soup Kitchen, which serves daily meals to over 300 children in Mbekweni and also functions as an aftercare centre for these young individuals. The initial batch of 100 blankets was gratefully received by the caretakers of the Gratefulness Community Soup Kitchen, who handed them to the little ones as they arrived from school that afternoon. Our residents continued to drop off blankets on a daily basis at designated points on the Estate. Additionally, businesses on the Estate pledged funds to further support this noble cause and the impact of these collective efforts has been remarkable. At the time of going to print, a total of 200 blankets were already been collected, with more expected to be received. The Val de Vie Foundation extends their heartfelt gratitude to all for their kind contributions and for bringing warmth and comfort to the children of Mbekweni.
