I In the quiet suburb of Thornton, in Cape Town, there's a hidden treasure. It's a treasure that's home to 15 families of children. Each family is housed in a home, which has been sponsored by a corporate. It's not only corporates that support the village though – Amway IBOs play a special role in supporting the children at SOS Children's Village in Cape Town. Many IBOs based in Cape Town have already, collectively, dedicated hundreds of hours to supporting staff and children at the SOS Village. Recently, the village in Thornton played host to some representatives from Amway, from the US as well as from South Africa. These are some of the pictures taken on that day… Currently, there are more than 950 children living permanently in the SOS Children's Villages in Pretoria, Johannesburg, Pietermaritzburg, Mthatha, Port Elizabeth, Cape Town, Nelspruit and Rustenburg. Community based programmes strengthen families by caring for orphans and vulnerable children, with the aim of keeping these children in their families and communities of origin. There are almost 4000 children and 1700 caregivers being supported through the Family Strengthening Programmes in Pretoria, Johannesburg, Pietermaritzburg, Mthatha, Port Elizabeth, Cape Town, and Nelspruit; and the three community social centres in Qwa Qwa, Mathanjana and Sekhukhune.
