We hosted our annual CHICA Christmas Party at 8 West Paediatric Oncology Ward of Windhoek Central Hospital today to hand out some gifts, treats and toys to the little ones who will be spending Christmas in the hospital.
Our appreciation to our steadfast partner, Gondwana Collection Namibia via the Gondwana Care Trust for again standing with us to help bring some cheer.

Blessed Christmas everyone 🙏

Sages skenk N$2619 aan Huis Acacia.

Sages is ń groep afgetrede golfspelers wat geld insamel vir liefdadigheidsorganisasies. Hulle hou deur die jaar gholftoernooie in Namibië. Die deelnemers kan dan sê vir watter organisasie hulle hul inskrywingsgeld wil skenk. Op die manier help hulle baie organisasies, waarvan CAN se Huis Acacia en Chica Huis, een is.
