CHOC – Welcomes Chilufya Pikiti our Branch Coordinator in Pietermaritzburg. He studied Philosophy in Cedara; was a Social Auxiliary Worker in a Children’s Home and also worked with refugees.
As a parent of a child with a blood disorder, he is very keen to have more parents join CHOC as volunteers.

PAY IT FORWARD - PIFT- Is a fundraiser that is in its 3rd year. It is a strictly 6 week fundraiser.
The idea behind the fundraiser is sometimes we do something good without any expectation of reward. However in life no good deed goes unrewarded. Eventually good deeds come back to you in the most unexpected ways.
The fundraiser is fun and looks at people getting together over a cup of tea and cake; socialising and raisng funds to ensure the CHOC LODGE is maintained.
