The Tekkie Tax fundraising campaign is proud to announce the recently appointed ambassador for the Children\u2019s sector of the project. Hilda Lunderstedt joined forces with Tekkie Tax and will serve as the ambassador for the children\u2019s sector in the 2014 Tekkie Tax project. Hilda is a successful business woman who is responsible for growing South Africa\u2019s most successful pharmaceutical company to a 9-digit annual revenue. After the recent sale of the company Hilda now focus on investments in businesses within the Beauty and Health sectors, both in South Africa and internationally.<\/p>\n

Annelise de Jager, National Project Organiser said \u201cit is heartwarming to see that prominent business people like Hilda, supports our work. She is skilled in so many ways and regularly travels the world. Yet her heart lies here, with the children of South Africa. And it is here, on local ground, that she is making a difference\u201d<\/p>\n

Hilda stated that \u201cTekkie Tax is an organization that does amazing work throughout the country and they work hard on a daily basis to make a remarkable difference to hundreds of welfare organisations. It is an honor and privilege to be associated with them.\u201d When asked why Hilda chose the Children sector of Tekkie Tax she replied \u201cthe sincere love that children radiate has always touched my heart. I would like to give a voice to the millions of under privileged children in South Africa. Children is the future of our country and by building on the well-being of our youth, we are building our country.\u201d<\/p>\n

In spirit of Hilda joining the project they recently celebrated her birthday at East Rand Protective Workshop in Kempton Park. It is a centre for mentally disabled adults but although their bodies may be 40 or 50 years old, inside they are children, rarely above the age of 12.<\/p>\n

The East Rand Protective Workshop provides a permanent, healthy and creative environment for these people. It is a home where they find unconditional love, a safe environment where they can develop their talents and skills, and where they can learn how to communicate, handle conflict and be in caring relationships.<\/p>\n

The day was filled with laughter as two clowns entertained the residents of East Rand Protective Workshop and both Hilda as well as the children enjoyed every minute.<\/p>\n

Tekkie Tax is a fundraising project for a large mix of carefully selected welfare organisations, schools and institutions in South Africa.<\/p>\n

Hilda said \u201cI will gladly wear my tekkies on Friday 30 May this year and my sticker of choice will for sure be C \u2013 Children!\u201d Members of the public are asked to get a Tekkie Tax sticker for a R10 donation from any of the participating welfare organisations. You can also order what you need directly from their website.<\/p>\n
