TBSA Soccer Team










On Sunday 6 November TBSA soccer team visited the I Care Rehabilitation Centre (Kwamakhutha) to hand over a computer and soccer world cup memorabilia. They gathered the boys together and shared words of encouragement which was much appreciated.
Afterwards a friendly soccer game was arranged with the soccer team and the I Care boys. Great fun!

Currently the Centre has 18 boys who will be in the programme for three months, after which they will graduate and either return to their families or move into one of the I Care houses. The gifts were received by Nelson and Mzo from the Rehabilitation Centre.
