Changesmakers ensure that the Hope Village community is snug and warm during winter nights
Forty-five Capricorn Group employees, in their role as Changemakers recently donated over 90 blankets, 100 socks, beanies, scarves, gloves, toiletries and nappies, to over 70 children and caretakers at the Hope Village in the Goreangab community.
Bank Windhoek Managing Director, Baronice Hans and members of her Executive Management Team joined the Changemakers to show their support to the Hope Village, as they also lent a helping hand to the upgrading of the centre.
The group of Changemakers painted two baby rooms, and a jungle gym organised and tidied rooms, and served hearty meals whilst interacting with some of the children residing at the centre.
It was a day filled with much fun and laughter, as Changemakers painted away and shared special moments with the children at the centre through a variety of activities and games. Before the outreach at Hope Village, Capricorn Group employees donated blankets, socks, beanies, gloves and nappies, as part of the Group’s internal Changemaker Winter Drive.
“We are happy that every singly child at Hope Village has received a new blanket for the winter, amongst other things, and it’s all thanks to the generosity of our employees. We are proud to provide opportunities for our employees to be changemakers in the community and to make a difference in the lives of the less fortunate.” Marlize Horn, Group Executive, Brand & Corporate Affairs of Capricorn Group.
