PRESENTATION OF "DONATE A CAN" PROCEEDS AT THE CATHOLIC CHURCH, JWANENG

On Saturday 11 February 2017, President Ignatius Ndzinge lead a party of 14 Rotarians plus a few wives, families and friends to Jwaneng to hand over the balance of the proceeds from the “Donate a Can” Project. Our destination in Jwaneng was the Catholic Church Hall.

The Church has been proving support to the street children as well has destitute families who were originally squatting in the bush around Jwaneng until the authorities moved them out and they are now being sheltered by the Church in some of the villages on the outskirts of Jwaneng.

This is the 3^rd year that we have provided food aid to this scheme in addition to blankets that we donated to them last year.

We were met by the new priest, Father Foster who arrived in Botswana in August last year. He was given a brief rundown on Rotary and what the Rotary Club of Gaborone was doing.

The food was then offloaded and handed over to Father Foster for use by the Church to feed the street children and to be distributed to the destitute families in the Church’s care.
