Hammanskraal Children's Court gets an extreme makeover - Khulisa style





Hammanskraal MIBs and Khulisa staff help with the first coat of paint for the mural in the Children's Court. Professional mural artist, Melany Pietersen, was there to guide and help the team. The once stifling space sprang to life from a basic green and blue background to a wonderland with sun, birds and flowers. We left our legacy today!

Abiot's birthday!

Abiot celebrated his birthday by helping with the new mural at the Children's Court in Hammanskraal - now that's dedication!

Investec Staff make the difference for Hammanskraal Ubuntu Club

In November 2007, Investec launched the programme "Kgoma - Touch by Giving" which offers Investec staff a simple way to make a monthly donation, directly from their salaries, to a pre-selected list of charities.The objectives of this initiative are:
• To provide a vehicle for Investec staff members to donate directly from their salaries to one or more charitable causes with which they identify.
• To introduce one more way to encourage staff members to participate in social investment initiatives.
• To raise funds for non-profit organisations nationally.
• To raise awareness of the difficulties these organisations face when trying to help the needy in South Africa. This is the first time for Khulisa to be involved in staff donation/corporate responsibility initiative.

On Wednesday 1 October, Lesley Ann attended a business breakfast at Investec Bank when she received an amount of R10,000 as a direct amount resulting from staff who have participated in the Investec Bank ‘Kgoma -Touch by Giving’ initiative.

The amount will be invested in the Hammanskraal Ubuntu Club. A key component of this initiative will be the involvement of the staff in empowering the youth to further their skills and to enhance their employment prospects.
