Media coverage will not be a problem.
I have pm Yule with some information about adopt a room?
The adopt a site also sounds excellent.
Children's sleeping quarters need a revamp
23 June 2011 | Lauren Boyle
DURBAN Children’s Homes recently launched its new initiative entitled Adopt A Room at Durban Children’s Home.
"Durban Children’s Home was established in 1905 and the much-needed renovations to our old buildings are very costly. The children’s sleeping and living quarters are in desperate need of renovation and we are asking our public and corporate supporters to consider either signing on as a volunteer group or sponsoring the Adopt a Room programme," said Mandy Goble, director of Durban Children’s Homes.
Women from the 31 Club recently signed on to adopt all five bedrooms at Saunders House, where four-to-11-year-old boys and girls live.
The children were overjoyed when they returned from school to find that their bedrooms had been transformed into rooms fit for princes and princesses.
"31 Club’s generosity and attention to detail has made our children feel so special and loved, something that they will treasure forever," said Mandy.
Anne Collinge, chairwoman of the 31 Club, said they used the funds raised from a function to completely refurbish the rooms, including painting, treating, putting in new doors, and buying bedding and accessories.
There are now 31 bedrooms and other living spaces left for a revamp.
