Sea Harvest  ‘Kids for Kids’ campaign has raised  R295, 872 exceeding its target for its three-month  fundraisng promotion which was launched in November 2010 last year to raise funds for the Trust to build a Surgical Skills Training Centre at the  Hospital.

“We are thrilled at the success of the campaign and are proud to handover the funds raised for this crucial training centre which will touch the lives of many on our continent of Africa.  We are equally pleased that we have been able to partner with such inspirational people and organisations on this journey and we look forward to a continued relationship supporting the great work of The Children’s Hospital Trust,” says Felix Ratheb, Sales and Marketing Director at Sea Harvest.

The’ Kids for Kids’ campaign gave parents an opportunity to instil a sense of responsibility in their children, through eating healthy food that tastes good they were able to support sick children in need. 10c from the sale of all coated Sea Harvest products - such as Fish Fingers - over a three month period went towards the building a Surgical Skills Training Centre. The centre will be equipped to train surgeons in multi-disciplinary endoscopic (Minimally Invasive) surgery in a virtual technology laboratory.

The world renowned Watoto Children’s Choir from Uganda is currently on tour in South Africa spreading their message of hope and will perform at the Hospital to celebrate this wonderful donation. The Watoto Children’s choirs have travelled the world since 1994 as advocates of the 50 million children in Africa who have suffered the same losses they have. Every child in the choir has been orphaned through disease, poverty or war. They now live in the Watoto children’s villages and have been given an opportunity to lead a fulfilling life and dare to dream.
