Have a heart for these Aids orphans

Sunday Times (Johannesburg) - July 30, 2006


THE Sunday Times has been co-ordinating a fundraising effort for a desolate community ravaged by HIV/Aids in the northern KwaZulu-Natal town of Eshowe.

We want to build a suitable dining hall with all the necessary facilities for the Aids orphans at the facility that is run by Nurturing Orphans of Aids for Humanity (Noah) - a non-governmental organisation - and funded by US President George Bush's President's Emergency Plan for Aids Relief (PEPFAR).

So far, we have been able to raise R2751, besides our own staff pledge of R10000.

However, owing to the intricate nature of accounting, we are not able to identify some of the funds our readers may have contributed to the account.

We therefore ask readers to furnish their particulars on their deposit slips so that we can publish their names with the updates on the fund.

We hope to finalise the building of the structure by the end October.

The banking details are:

Branch Code: 250355

Account Holder: NOAH

Account Number: 62061726570
