New Media Health client Paul Watson and two colleagues have recently returned from working in the township of Khayalethu in South Africa. A volunteer trip organised through Edge of Africa, which gives volunteers the opportunity to make a direct impact on the local community and environment.
NMH provided a cash donation and goodie bags of pens and pencils for the trip. The cash donation was turned into practical items including notebooks and erasers for the children of the township.
Commenting on the trip, Paul Watson said “This township has a long history of poor health, inadequate housing – most people live in wooden shacks and very low levels of educational attainment. The generous donation that NMH provided made a huge difference to the children, everyday items that we class as being small and inexpensive really do have an impact to the people of Khayalethu.
A further return volunteer trip is already planned for January 2012, anyone who would like to make a donation to assist with the trip can contact Bev Ross, New Media Health Managing Director via email sales@newmediahealth.com
