Al-Noor Orphanage: The emptiness of what was once a home WeekendArgus
Cape Town - From the outside, Al-Noor Orphanage Centre seems well kept, with signs reading “Welcome to our village” and “It takes a village to raise a child” on its concrete fence. A sad reminder of the children who once lived there are hand-prints on a wall at the entrance. Brightly coloured locked containers, likely a sewing room and a library, were also decorated with prints.
“Our children had clothing, shoes and toys. These are all things which were donated to them. The children here were really spoilt.” There was a pungent smell at the exit to the boys’ room and near the dining hall, where the children ate and did homework.The trophies and certificates from past and recent residents were on display outside the hall. In the same vicinitywas a small prayer room and computer room.
