ILLOVO SUGAR South Africa-Eston Mill built a classroom for children at the Pietermaritzburg Assist Foundation’s Thandi House costing around R30 000. Thandi House is a home for abused and abandoned babies in Chase Valley, Pietermaritzburg, and is at the heart of one of the worst moral plagues of infanticide (killing and dumping of a baby after birth) and child abandonment, topped with the crippling and heart-breaking effects of HIV and AIDS and poverty. Eston employees made donations to these needy children, clinic sister Sheila Breedt worked tirelessly in co-ordinating this project and Eston management as well as Head Office contributed.
