During the last few working days of December 2011, several staff at The MediaShop took a few hours out of their schedules to spend time with the children and caregivers of Bophelo Home Based Care. Zisize, also supported by The MediaShop last year, was created in 1999 in response to the growing number of children left orphaned and vulnerable by HIV /AIDS. Zisize strives to help children through a range of activities. The MediaShop's third charity Masizakhe, opened in 1993 and works hand in hand with the community and the local churches through volunteers to affect positive home based care and counselling.
