💙 Guest Parent, Volunteer and Mentor Information Evening 💙
Have you ever wondered what it would be like to make a real difference in a child’s life? Our children’s lives have been uprooted, but you can make a difference. 💙

Our Guest Parent, Volunteer and Mentor programmes give you the opportunity to become part of a child’s life — whether through spending time together, being a positive role model or welcoming a child into your home over weekends and school holidays. 🏡🫶🏼

We host a Volunteer, Mentor and Guest Parent Information Evening once a month, and attending an Information Evening is a requirement for all prospective volunteers, mentors and guest parents.
📅 Monday, 26 October
⏰ 17:00
📍 Jakaranda Kinderhuis

Come along, find out more about the programmes, ask questions and see how you could become part of a child’s journey. 💙 Sometimes, making a difference starts with simply opening your door.

Feature Friday: Defend With Integrity 🥋💙

Our children recently had the opportunity to take part in a special Taekwondo belt testing event, where they worked hard, put their skills to the test and earned their next belts! 🥋👏🏼

Now we’d love to give them the opportunity to celebrate that achievement at the upcoming award ceremony — but we need R100 per child to make it possible. 💙

A massive thank you to Grandmaster Jodi Horn and Master Emma Horn, the Horn Family Foundation, NMAA and NMAA South Africa, as well as Sr Mitch Landman and Ma’am Celia Landman, for the incredible support you continue to give our children and the Defend With Integrity programme. 🫶🏼

And a special shout-out to one of our social workers, Debro, who puts her heart and soul into this activity and plays such an important role in making it possible for our children. 💙🥋

Your dedication gives our children the opportunity to work hard, build confidence, learn discipline and challenge themselves — and we are incredibly grateful for every person who makes this programme possible.

If you would like to help one of our children attend the award ceremony, R100 covers the cost for one child. 🥋✨

Duisende Dankie Donderdag 💙✨

Aan almal wat ons kinders se skoolvakansie besonders gemaak het met uitstappies — baie, baie dankie! 🫶🏼

Despite Jakaranda being without power for an entire week, there was still plenty of fun and adventure to be had! 😂💙

Ons kinders het nuwe plekke ontdek, lekker uit die huis gekom en memories gemaak wat hulle nog lank sal onthou. ✨

A huge thank you to everyone who gave their time, opened their doors and helped make these outings possible. 💙

A special shout-out to our CYCWs (houseparents), who had to get creative and make a plan to keep the holidays fun without electricity! 👏🏼😂

We are so grateful to everyone who helped make the school holidays special for our children. 🫶🏼

Baie dankie dat julle gehelp het om selfs ’n uitdagende week vol lekker herinneringe te maak. 💙

Feature Friday: You're Soaring Now! 🚀

Our children had the opportunity to explore different career paths, learn practical life skills and meet people from a variety of fields — all thanks to a wonderful initiative organised by our 4th-year Social Work student, Travis Swart! 👏🏼

Throughout his project, Travis created opportunities for our children to learn about careers, budgeting, confidence, real estate and so much more. 💙

This is also what makes having 4th-year Social Work students with us so special. They spend a full year completing their practical placement, gaining hands-on experience in a Children’s Home while bringing fresh perspectives, knowledge and ideas that we get to learn from too. 🌱

A massive thank you to everyone who contributed to Travis’s project:

✨ OVC
✨ AITutor, now known as Chommie
✨ Verve Digital, partners with Chommie
✨ Sonia Roux Counselling
✨ Sol-Tech
✨ Oaksfield College
✨ Capital Hotel School
✨ SuperSpar Queenswood – budgeting workshops
✨ Unique New U – confidence building
✨ Margie Pienaar Real Estates – real estate guidance

And of course, a huge congratulations to Travis for putting it all together! 🎉

🏠 WEAVE A SAFER HOME

At Jakaranda Kinderhuis and Louis Botha Kinderhuis, we care for around 300 children placed with us through an order from the Children’s Court.

With rising crime rates in our communities, we want to strengthen the security of our homes by weaving fencing material through the existing fences around both Jakaranda and Louis Botha Kinderhuise.

This strengthens the existing perimeter and makes it more difficult to climb or get through the fence — helping us create a safer environment for the children, staff and caregivers who call these homes theirs.

The project will cost R100,000, and we need your help to make it happen. 🔒

This is about more than a fence. It’s about making the places our children call home safer and more secure.

💙 Back a Buddy and help us weave a safer home.

Moment Monday - Dare to Care

Sometimes, the simplest things can mean the most.

As part of Dare to Care, our children had the opportunity to invite people to join them for dinner — something that sounds so ordinary, but can be a really special experience. 🫶🏼

Sharing a meal, sitting around a table, chatting, laughing and simply enjoying someone’s company. No big event, no fancy occasion… just a normal evening together. 💙

These are the moments that remind us that sometimes, creating a sense of belonging is as simple as pulling up another chair. 🪑🍽️✨

Thank you to everyone who joined our children for dinner and helped make an ordinary evening feel a little more special. 🥰
