🌟💛 A Heartfelt Thank You to Round Table! 💛🌟
We would like to extend our sincere gratitude to the Round Table for their generous donation of two beautiful and colourful gazebos to The Lighthouse Centre.
These gazebos will be a tremendous asset to our programmes, events, and market days. They will provide much-needed shelter and create a welcoming space for our students and community members wherever we go.
Your continued support of The Lighthouse Centre and the disabled community means so much to us. It is through the kindness and generosity of organisations like yours that we are able to continue empowering our students and creating opportunities for them to learn, grow, and thrive.
Thank you for once again making a positive difference in the lives of people with disabilities. We truly appreciate your support and partnership. 💙

hope the new gazebos serve your students well for many years to come. 🌟

Hello everyone, I’m asking for your support for a charity close to my heart that helps pregnant teenagers and single mothers.

Next week I’ll be visiting them, and I would love to bless them with much-needed food supplies. My goal before Monday is to collect:
• 50 x 2kg bags of rice
• 50 x 2kg bags of maize meal

Any canned foods would also be greatly appreciated. If you would prefer to donate cash, I will gladly send photos of the food purchased.

I often do charity work for the disabled, but this time I would really like to support these young moms and their babies. Every little bit helps, so please join me in supporting this worthy cause.

For more information, please contact me on 072 117 3716. Thank you so much for your kindness and support.

After our post last week regarding the miscommunication with RocoMamas, we are thankful to say that Head Office contacted us the very same day to apologize and take full responsibility for the misunderstanding. They acknowledged that better communication and confirmation should have taken place beforehand.
The Head Office manager kindly invited our disabled students to the Rocomamas branch for burgers, chips, and a juice each. We were naturally a little hesitant at first, but we can honestly say that we received such a warm and welcoming experience from the staff.
The team was incredibly accommodating and patient with all of our disabled youngsters, making them feel comfortable and included throughout the visit. Unfortunately, not all of our students were able to attend, but that did not stop RocoMamas for going the extra mile. They thoughtfully packed takeaway meals for everyone who could not make it, allowing us to bring the food back and ensure every student was included.
We would like to sincerely thank Rocomamas for putting smiles on our students’ faces and for turning what started as a negative situation into a truly positive and memorable experience for our disabled youngsters. Your kindness and effort are greatly appreciated. 💛

🕊️ **In Loving Memory of Bongani** 🕊️

We are deeply saddened to hear about the passing of **Bongani**. He was truly an amazing man with a great passion and talent for woodwork. His kindness, knowledge, and willingness to share his skills made a lasting impact on those around him.

Bongani will be remembered not only for the incredible work he created, but also for the wonderful person he was. He touched many lives and will be greatly missed by everyone who had the privilege of knowing him.

Our thoughts and prayers are with his family and loved ones during this difficult time. Rest in peace, Bongani. You will never be forgotten. 🕊️💛

❤️🎨 Spreading the Love with Art & Craft! 🎨❤️
Today was all about creativity and love as we made beautiful Valentine’s hearts during our art and craft session! 💕 From painting to decorating, each heart was made with care, colour, and lots of smiles.
It’s so special to see our students express themselves through art while building confidence and having fun together. Every heart created today is a reminder that love, kindness, and creativity shine brightly at The Lighthouse Centre. 💛
We are so proud of their hard work and imagination!
