The Denis Goldberg Legacy Foundation is holding a Youth Day this Saturday in the Hout Bay community.
The organization expects at least 100 youth to attend but encourages the whole community to come out for the youth. There will be a soccer tournament, tug of war, sack racing, three-legged racing, an environmental quiz, and environmental awareness talks. The chairperson of the organizing committee, Sidney Phillips, said that gaged community interests and wanted to hold an event that provided something valuable for everyone in the family.
He said that he has become involved in the community because he sees a “fatherless youth” growing up in Hout Bay. Through events such as youth day, Phillips said the Denis Goldberg Trust wishes to provide guidance and support to youth who are growing up in local poverty.
“I’ve seen how soccer has taken the wrong turn and requires much finances,” Phillips said. “But we want this event not to be about money but people.”
Phillips and his counterparts on the committee, Janet and Geralda, said that they have all seen funding becoming harder and harder. Many people do make out of pocket donations, and these make a difference. You can contact the Capitec Bank to make donations. The account number is #1372437841 and the branch code is #470010.
