The children were surprised with the presence of the action figure Four Arms, one of the characters in the Ben 10 cartoon. Four Arms helped the representatives to hand out the gifts and posed for photos with the children.

The New Jerusalem Children's Home was established in 2000 in Midrand. According to the founder of the Home, Adv. Anna Mojapelo, there is great abandonment in the community, especially of HIV positive children. This home has created a safe haven for the abandoned and vulnerable youth.

Says Venter, “This home does such remarkable work in the community. It was with great joy that we were able to help put a smile on their faces during the festive season.”
