Zenzele Hirschfeldt, founder and Director of Zen Promotions, celebrated her 31st birthday on Thursday with kids from the Mochudi Centre for the blind. As a way of giving back to the community, Zenzele has pledged to carry out ten good deeds this year to mark her company’s ten years anniversary.
She has already carried out seven good deeds through donating to the needy and she used her birthday to fulfil deed number 8, by inviting children with special needs from the Mochudi Centre.
The kids had lunch with Zenzele at Block 3 Park in Gaborone. The excited kids were face painted and each one of them received a toy. They played with Zenzele and finalists of the Miss Universe.
Gilbert Mukuvare, a rehabilitation technician from the Mochudi Centre of the Deaf, said that the centre has 68 kids from across the country. Most of them are blind while others are HIV/AIDS orphans.
Mukuvare said they provide accommodation and physiotherapy to the kids. He thanked Zenzele for her gesture of benevolence.
Also present at the luncheon was Harry Chahal of Mahindra Botswana and Car World. Chahal is the main sponsor of Zenzele’s ten good deeds initiative. He said he was happy to be a part of such a good initiative and said to him that it’s not all about the money as just being there for the kids can go a long way in making a difference in their lives.
