27 Jun: Dream Day at BottelaryThere was 190 children and adults that attended the feeding scheme this Sunday, and Helping Angels and 00HEAVEN worked together to create special memories for a few ‘heroes’ that form part of our Bottelary Farm Project. 9 special farm children and 2 adult farm workers had the chance to take a scenic drive in a limo and to be treated like royalty on a red carpet! We would also like to thank NS Promotions for arranging for

Simba the lion to attend this Dream Day! The kids loved having their photos taken with Simba as well as the face painting and Simba hats! We hope that this would motivate these special children to dream about a better future!

A big thanks to Hettie & Kobus for sponsoring the bus fare that enabled us to take the kids on this trip, thanks to Eljo SA for the reduced bus fare
