Donations flow in for Aids orphans project

Sunday Times (Johannesburg) - August 13, 2006


THE Sunday Times fundraising effort to build a suitable dining hall for a desolate community ravaged by HIV/Aids in the northern KwaZulu-Natal town of Eshowe is gaining momentum.

The aim is to build a structure with all the necessary facilities for Aids orphans at the centre, which is run by the Nurturing Orphans of Aids for Humanity (Noah) - a non-governmental organisation - and funded by US President George BushÆs PresidentÆs Emergency Plan for Aids Relief (PEPFAR).

This week, readers pledged a further R1100 to push the total donations to R11752, besides the Sunday Times staff pledge of R10000.

A special thanks to PJ Pillay, who contributed R500, and Prajesh Ramsumugth, who donated R100.

We appeal to readers to forward their particulars to us - by phone (031) 250-8500, fax (031) 250-8522 or e-mail kznextra@sundaytimes.co.za - to ensure that we publish their names with the weekly updates on the fund.

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