Somerset West was the scene of a
roaring convoy from the Tygervalley Harley Davidson club as they drove from Cape Town to
the Thembalitsha Foundation offices on Lourensford Road last week. The slub made this special trip to deliver a donation of baby goods to Thembalitsha’s
project Mama Themba (formerly known as Bosom Buddies).
Mama Themba serves our local hospital,
Helderberg Hospital, by delivering baby bags to new mothers who give birth
here. Each mom receives a bag with baby clothes, nappies, a blanket, sanitary
towels and whatever else mom may need for baby’s first day. Each bag is hand
delivered by this volunteer-driven project.
Mama Themba further impacts infant
mortality and morbidity by giving antenatal and breastfeeding education and
support to all feeder clinics, spanning as far as Grabouw to Kleinvlei.
The project was also joined by
representatives from Truworths’ fashion department, who brought goods they had
collected as a part of their Mandela Day initiative.
All contributions go directly to support
mothers in desperate need via the Mama Themba project.
If you are interested in volunteering
or would like to assist Mama Themba by donating gently used baby clothes,
nappies or sanitary towels, email Thembalitsha at info@thembalitsha.org.za or call them on 021 852 3425.
