A light of dawn for the physically challenged


Lebohang Centre in Zone 10, Sebokeng met a messiah who showered them with manna from heaven recently. A major steel manufacturer Arcelor Mittal Foundation through its Minigrants Programme donated a sum of $3,800 to the centre for the building of carport in December 2011.

Ouma Tshabalala a resident who lives nearby and works at Mittal urged the centre to approach the company and request donation. It was the first time they heard of it and simultaneously applied. The carport was built during festive holidays and finished in February 2012.

Makgaola Mollo, Centre Manager said “Carport comes in handy for the kids health and exposure to sunlight, not only will the carpot help kids with shadow when playing especially in summer but events will be hosted under it (which curbed costs), it will also cater for feeding programme and accommodates twenty-eight (28) users for daily activities. It is an achievement for the centre as it has been the greatest structure to be erected this year.”
