Vega Instruments SA keeps Roodepoort Child Welfare moving

January 2014 News

Roodepoort Child Welfare received a pleasant surprise at the ROCCI Business of the Year awards during October 2013. John Groom, managing director of Vega Instruments SA, presented Angelique McAdam, chairperson of Roodepoort Child Welfare, with a new Honda BRIO Trend during the event.

Groom first heard about the struggles that Angelique and her staff were having with their vehicles when he did a presentation for ROCCI. At that time, all that Angelique was looking for was a sponsor for a new sign board to help children in need to find the offices.

Angelique and her team currently care for 2700 children and they take in between five to nine new children per week. Roodepoort Child Welfare is responsible for finding the children a place of safety, before they go to a foster home and then adoption.

In keeping with Vega Grieshaber’s motto ‘Looking Forward’, Groom hopes that the new vehicle will help Roodepoort Child Welfare move forward in their work: “Being in a position to help the community we work in would not be possible without the hard work and dedication from each and every one of our staff members and customers. There is nothing more important than helping to protect our community’s children as they are the future of our company and our country,” he concluded.

Angelique McAdam can be contacted on 083 325 1013 or [email protected]
