They have partnered with well-known children\u2019s charity, JAM SA, to make a difference to some of SA\u2019s poorest children.<\/p>\n<p>JAM SA is helping the Rainbow Day Care Centre in Lanseria, Johannesburg, to break the cycle of poverty by providing a safe, supportive environment for children so that their parents can go out to work.<\/p>\n<p>Kids being kids, they occasionally become unwell and may need to spend time in the centre\u2019s sick bay. Lotters Pine identified an opportunity to make this experience less uncomfortable for sick children by donating a quality bed and mattress.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe hope that our donation will help the Rainbow Day Care kids be more comfortable if they\u2019re sick, so that they can recover faster and get back to playing and learning with their friends,\u201d explained a Lotters Pine director Armando Teixeira. \u201cAs part of our 50th Birthday celebrations this year we are looking at ways to give back to our customers and communities and this is just one of the ways we have been able to do that.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The bed and mattress were delivered on Nelson Mandela Day, with Lotters Pine staff donating 67 minutes of their time to deliver and construct it.<br \/> \u201cThis is a great imitative and we thank and support JAM SA for all their good work that they do at over 2000 schools across South Africa. We need to take care of our vulnerable and children definitely fall into that category,\u201d concludes Armando.<\/p>\n<p>CLICK HERE to submit your press release to MyPR.co.za.<\/p>\n<p> &#8211; <small>MyPR<\/small><\/p>\n<p> CLICK HERE to submit your news to www.MyPR.co.za.<\/p>\n<p> Click here to submit your Johannesburg, Gauteng News &#8211; free.<\/p>\n<p> <strong>Have you tried:<\/strong> Travelling to South Africa?<\/p>\n<p> <strong>Did you know this about Johannesburg?<\/strong> Mponeng Gold Mine is the world\u2019s deepest mine: The mine is located on the outskirts of Johannesburg (near Westonaria).
