15th HOPE-Gala has a New Venue
For the past 15 years the HOPE-Gala in Dresden raised funds worth about EUR 1.7 million, which were donated for the fight against HIV/Aids and a better health care for children in South Africa.
In the first place a magnificent event was planned but due to the COVID-19 pandemic the initial venue would just be able to host 250 people. That’s why instead of the annual Gala an anniversary concert will take place. Numerous artists will perform in a church this year, as it can host more than 800 people in compliance with the COVID-19 regulations.
In addition to this event, Mrs Viola Klein (organiser), plans three charity dinners as support is highly needed at the moment.
Many people in South Africa survive day-by-day with their daily income now being lost due to the Corona lockdown. Therefore, parents and caregivers cannot afford to buy food for their children anymore. Previously, HOPE Cape Town’s main focus was to support mothers, adolescents and children with medical treatment, but food is more needed now.
Many soup kitchens had to close and left behind a hungry population. Children in townships are dying as a consequence of malnutrition. HOPE Cape Town has started a feeding scheme and is able to feed 1000 children a day. Through these donations HOPE Cape Town will be able to continue with saving the lives of children.
