Pienkie and Stanley run a successful Bric-a-Brac Shop for Amcare.
This once destitute couple were referred to Amcare 2 years ago by their Church to see if Amcare could assist them. We recognised their potential and trained them as care givers in our poverty relief programme where they were put in charge of all goods received as donations.
