Story
I am setting out with 20 colleagues from Forrest construction specialists to South Africa in October over a 2 week period to build a large classroom for an orphanage for the Little Angels Children's Home near Johannesburg working together with The Footprints Foundation www.thefootprintsfoundation.co.uk. Our commitment to this worthy cause involves us raising £50,000 by October...and we need your help!
Little Angels Children's Home is an orphanage run by a 27 year old woman since the death of the founder, her mother, in 2006. There is very scarce social service in the community to assist orphans. Children are often forced to drop out of school to look after themselves and their siblings in child headed households. These children are either HIV/AIDS orphans or have been abandoned by their parents/relatives.
Little Angels offers these children shelter and food, and helps them access medication, counselling and other therapeutic services to help them to live healthy and meaningful lives.
