From the 27th of April 2023 to the 1st of May 2023, a group of "weekend warrior" mountain bike cyclists from Wesley Methodist Church will embark on a 5 day cycle tour in order to raise funds, and awareness, for the Benjamin Generation Childcare Centre. (https://benjamingeneration.org).
This organization looks after abused and abandoned babies, and young children. The Childcare Centre is situated out in the quiet little village of New Hanover in KwaZulu-Natal. They currently receive no government funding and rely solely on the generosity of people like you and me.
Over the past two years the cycle tour has raised in excess of R200,000 which has been used to fund the completion of a Pre-School on the property. This has only been possible because of the generous donors who sponsored the cyclists.
In August 2022 they were finally able to open their doors to the community and this year they have an intake of over 50 children. They desperately need funding for their three Early Childhood Development (ECD) teachers.
This Pre-School is the only one in the area and will serve their children, as well as those from the local, poverty stricken, community that is situated nearby.
The goal this year is to raise R180,000 to help them fund the salaries for these three teachers.
We all know how important the formative years are for children and so this Pre-School will give the children of the area a firm foundation for their future - one which they might never have had!
