Primedia - Ethekwini

Primedia, national provider of outdoor media, marketing and sales in South Africa, was tasked with handling the sourcing of a non-profit organisation in KZN to whom Ethekwini would donate R20,000.
I Care was selected as the beneficiary and received school uniforms, food items and toiletries to that value.
Counsellor Dlamini represented the city and Thulani, Seshnee and Michaleen represented Primedia.
Jenni-Lyn, I Care represntative, spoke briefly about I Care and thanked both parties for the generous donation. Lucia is seen here accepting a few of the gifts from Counsellor Dlamini who spoke of the city's gratitude to I Care for the work that we do to help street children. He also emphasized the fact that these children are often misunderstood and are frequently the product of sad circumstances. He stressed that the city and I Care should continue working together to make a difference in our Province.
I Care takes this opportunity to thank Primedia for choosing I Care and the city for their generous donation.

Durban Preparatory High School

On Tuesday 21 June I Care was invited to meet the Grade 4's of Durban Preparatory High School who had decided to collect cans of food for the I Care children. Jenni-Lyn talked to the boys about street children and they showed a keen interest, asking a number of questions about the boys in our care and their lives on the street.

We are very grateful to DPHS Grade 4's for showing such initiative and team work and we thank them, their parents and teachers for thinking of us.

New Boys June 2011

Sixteen boys, seven from Durban and nine from Johannesburg entered Umuzi for their three month rehabilitation course - Khuthaza - on 13 June 2011. They expressed their pleasure at being chosen for this course and vowed that, because of it, their lives would change for the better.
At the end of the three months they will graduate and either return home or stay with I Care at one of our Illovo houses.

At the end of their 'good feeling' campaign this year Liqui Fruit decided to donate this additional amount to each of the charities that took part in the competition but did not win the Grand Prize of R200,000.00. I Care was one of five charities to benefit from this very kind gesture.

Tracksuits for the boys

NCP very kindly donated tracksuits for our boys and this is the letter that Petro Vorster wrote to I Care.

"Thank you Jabu, Thulile and Nevil for the opportunity granted to NCP to contribute towards I Care by donating some tracksuits. Your staff are amazing and I wish you all the best with your 'new' recruits Thulile! (On right of picture)
As a responsible corporate in your area we at NCP would like to believe that every small gesture helps and we hope to continue doing so where and whenever we are able to."

We at I Care thank NCP and Petro for the tracksuits and for this wonderful letter.
