JCC donates prem baby clothes for Youth Day
George Municipal Councillors Thandiswa Qatana and Marais Kruger who play a co-ordinating role providing guidance and coaching to the Junior City Council, joined two of the members on 16th June, to donate 212 pieces of hand-knitted premature baby clothes to the George Provincial Hospital . The Junior City Council raised money for the purchase of wool by selling cakes and brownies at their respective schools, and received donations of wool from different organisations and residents. With the wool in hand, they visited a number of old age homes to ask the elderly to employ their considerable skills in knitting a variety of beautiful booties, baby beanies and jackets.
