The IDA Care Foundation recently approved a donation for CMR Ermelo.

The IDA Care Foundation recently approved a donation for tiles, cement and grout for CMR Child and Youth Care Centre in Ermelo. The building materials will be used to the refurbish their bathrooms.

House parents, Fanie and Veronica Viljoen, take care of 12 children between the ages 4 and 19 at the CMR Child and Youth Care Centre.

The basic needs at the CMR Child and Youth Care Centre are food, clothing, general medical items and transport to and from school and appointments.

“We want to thank Fanie, Veronica and staff for the opportunity to visit CMR Ermelo and their contribution towards these children’s caregiving as well as their upbringing – we observed nothing but disciplined behaviour in a neatly maintained environment (imagine you had 12 kids!),” says Erwee Boshoff from the IDA.

“A special note of thanks also goes out to Wilna from GWM Ermelo – who arranged the introduction and invited our participation. To Arwin and staff at Timber City – Ermelo, a big thank you for the delivery of the material free of charge.”

A further need now exists. They have the materials, but the tiling needs to be done by skilled labourers and they welcome any further donations toward this next step.

Please call Issie Dippenaar on 076 305 8026 / 087 550 0510 or Reynhardt on 0839853604 at CMR Ermelo if you can help.

Thank you

“Namens die bestuur, wil ons jou en die span van harte bedank vir die skenking aan die Kinderhuis. Die opknapping van die badkamers by die Pleeghuis is vir ons ’n prioriteit. Die skenking help om ons begroting te laat klop!

Dankie vir julle betrokkenheid en goedgunstigheid teenoor ons Kinderhuise. Ons het groot waardering daarvoor. Dra asseblief ons waardering aan die span oor.”
