We are sitting with a very serious situation in Akasia at the moment: I'm sure everyone is aware of the refugee camp for foreigners that has been set up at Akasia Skietbaan, in Klerksoord for the immigrants. We are currently sitting with about 2000 immigrants in this camp.
There is no running water, no electricity, just 1 tap, about 3 toilets, tents (set up by the army) and a whole lot of tension.
We are in dire need of the following:
Formula Milk for babies;
Disposable nappies,
Blankets,
Ready to eat food;
Towels;
Cloths;
Tooth Brushes;
Tooth Paste;
Plastic Containers;
Buckets;
Cups;
Soap;
Washing Powder;
Vaseline;
Cream;
Warm Clothes for Babies and Children.
Medical donations: time from medical practitioners and medicine for ill children.
These are just the basic things every human being needs, and anything you want to donate will be appreciated.
Donations can be dropped off at the DA Head Office at 517 Jorrisen Street in Sunnyside where it will be collected and distributed.
There are children as young as 2 months and elderly as old as 87 years in this camp, with no refuge, nothing. Your very urgent help will be appreciated.
Please circulate this letter amongst people you think will be able to assist.
Feel free to contact Eloise if you have any questions.
Thank you.
