250 Bras Collected for Amcare

“I just want to thank all the staff and parents from Brackenhurst Primary who made this collection of 250 bras possible.” BAGS full of bras were collected for Amcare by a Grade Six learner from Brackenhurst Primary School, Monique Pestana, and her teacher, miss Melody Pheiffer.

Monique (11) is often out and about in the community, doing charity deeds. These include helping out with the Cupcakes 4 Kids with Cancer initiative, baking and selling cupcakes in aid of the Alberton SPCA, donating Christmas gifts to various non-profit organisations and collecting clothes for people in need.

Melody is also frequently involved with charity work, raising funds and helping out at numerous non-profit initiatives and organisations in any way she can.

Recently, Melony inspired Monique so much that, together, they managed to collect 250 bras. They chose to hand these to Amcare’s Victim Empowerment Centre, in “support” of its women, on September 19.

Melony said: “I just want to thank all the staff and parents from Brackenhurst Primary who made this collection of 250 bras possible. Thank you all for always responding to calls of support from the school. Thank you for always being so generous and helpful in collecting things for those in need.”

Nadine Mason from Amcare expressed admiration towards Melony and, especially, young Monique for such a lovely attempt at making a difference in the community. She thanked them sincerely for the donation of bras and promised that it will be of great use for Amcare.
