Family Africa is registered with the US based Family Care Foundation- a 501(c)(3) public charity
This Saturday Malaak Compton-Rock (wife of the actor Chris Rock and founder of The Angel Rock Foundation) came to open the playground she has donated for The Family Africa’s Free Day Care Centre for the children of HIV positive women and orphans. We arranged a big birthday party for our children at the same time so that the whole day would be very special with hot dogs, crisps, lollies and toys. Beth ( 15yrs) and Tirzah (14yrs)face painted the children and Chris made balloons and entertained the crowd. Portia(10yrs) worked hard making the hot dogs and organizing the toy distribution. Malaak arrived with 30 teenagers from Brooklyn, New York and thirty mentors.
The children gave a little performance and the women from the HIV positive support group sang and danced receiving a great response from the visitors. The teens from New York then gave out lucky packets to 85 of our children and we in turn presented the teens with a FIFA 2010 World Cup blanket as a souvenir of their stay in this country. The event was a big success and we are all absolutely thrilled with our fantastic new playground.
