LAVISTOWN SVP SERVES COMMUNITY FOR 34 YEARS

 

Ada Kleinsmith (left, pictured), president of the SVP of St Martin de Porres' Catholic Church, Lavistown, says the group has worked with the poor, elderly, donated food parcels (currently at R3 000 per month), conducted fundraisers and sourced donations in the greater Elsies River area, and beyond (including the Malawi Camp informal settlement and Valhalla Park), for 34 years. Members also volunteer services at local primary health-care clinics, whose facilities are always stretched to the limit. She says the group is glad for the Buckets of Love because they know the need in these areas intimately.
