 A_letter_from_jabulani 63.75 KbCHOC Childhood Cancer Foundation CHOC Childhood Cancer Foundation is a country wide voluntary organisation. It brings together the parents of children who suffer from all varieties of cancer or life threatening blood disorders. Funds raised are applied to directly benefit the children and their families, and also those involved in the treatment of these most serious illnesses. The goal of this dedicated group is to improve the welfare and quality of care for children with cancer. The organisation provides direct practical help to children with cancer, from diagnosis onwards, recognising the inevitable disruption to family life when a child faces vigorous and often lengthy treatment. The name CHOC (an abbreviation of “Children’s Haematology Oncology Clinics”) was used by the first local parent group, established in 1979. In 2000 a new national organisation was formed, linking parent groups in all parts of the country. Industroclean donated a single disc machine and the chemicals needed to keep the CHOC ward at the Joburg hospital hygienically clean for patients.

They suffer with a condition called cerebral palsy caused when the brain is damaged through lack of oxygen. This happens before, during or after birth and through accidents and physical abuse. The severity of the disability means that the residents require constant care, intense therapy and stimulation to enable them to reach their maximum potential and lead happy and fulfilling lives. Some of the residents have been totally abandoned by their families and the home relies on donations. Wetrok donated 50 towel sets for all the residents and sponsored a Xmas party. The joy and appreciation on the faces of all the patients was clearly evident and it was a humbling experience for members of the Wetrok sales team. Donovan who hasn’t walked without a walker for ages walked unaided to the table to thank us for the party!!

A Friend in Need Friend in Need is a feeding scheme based on the West Rand, which feeds approximately 200 families every Monday morning! There is also a crèche on the property catering to the needs of less privileged children. The crèche building is in bad need of TLC - Industroclean have donated the paint and accessories to refurbish the classrooms and the playground equipment. The centre will also be hosting a Xmas party for all the children later in December and we will supply sweets and other “goodies”.
