JOURNEY OF HOPE BENEFIT EVENT FOR ONTLAMETSE PHALATSE
The City of Tshwane’s Health and Social Development Department has joined hands with three other stakeholders to host a benefit fundraising event for little Ontlametse Phalatse from Hebron, north-west of the city.
Ontlametse is a 13 year old girl with a rare aging disease called Progeria. She is the only living black child with Progeria, a rare and fatal genetic condition that accelerates the ageing process.
The City has partnered with the Greater Tshwane Regional Taxi Council, Soshanguve Pick `N Pay and the Tshwane Gospel Choir to raise funds for Ontlametse to help her realise her wish of owning a home for her, her mother and brother, as well as to meet the Executive Mayor of Tshwane, Cllr Kgosientso Ramokgopa.
Members of the public and businesses are encouraged to make donations towards this endeavour to the following bank account:
Account name : Ontlametse Phalatse
Bank : Nedbank Limited
Account Number : 200 308 9403
Branch code : 148526
At least 41 children from special schools and orphanages around the City will be transported to join Ontlametse. Cllr Ramokgopa is expected to present school uniforms to some of those children as part of the Executive Mayor`s Social Responsibility Program.
Beautiful paintings by local artists will be auctioned on the day as part of raising funds for Ontlametse.
Details of the event are as follows:
Date: Saturday, 23 June
Venue: Saulsville Arena, Atteridgeville
Time: 09:00 to 14:00.
