Government Showers Winter Warmth on the Homestead

Today the Homestead was very pleased and grateful to receive a warm winter hug from the Western Cape Provincial Government.   Minister Bonginkosi Madikizela of Human Settlements, Minister Albert Fritz from Social Development and their interns popped in to donate a pile of blankets and nourishment to the vulnerable children and their families that the Homestead works with.  The Western Cape Government is a key partner of the Homestead and provides direct subsidies towards our running costs.  

D Section Representatives, Ministers, Councillors and the Director show off the bright blankets.

Piles of warmth and nourishment

Minister Fritz, Minister Madikizela and Homestead Director Paul Hooper discuss how "Your children will become what you are, so be what you want them to be"

The team says a sad farewell to the old, and gives a warm welcome to the not so new.

On  the 1 May 2013  the Homestead said a sad official goodbye to Sandra Morreira who has retired after 9 very successful years as the Homestead director.   Paul Hooper, who has worked with street children in various capacities since 1988,  takes over from Sandra as the new Homestead director.   Thankfully  Sandra remains connected behind the scenes helping the Homestead to continue to change lives.
