Marang House celebrated its ten year anniversary during its annual Christmas Market on 22 November 2008. Marang House was founded in 1998 by the late Dr Pieter Ernst to provide a stable home-environment to children who were otherwise forced to stay in hospitals for extended periods. The Christmas Market had a variety of stalls, selling novelties and food.
Pieter Ernst Jr, Executive Director of Marang House and son of the late founder: “We were really happy to have the opportunity to celebrate our ten year anniversary together with the local community. Our annual Christmas Market has become a well-known event amongst our neighbours, who have supported us throughout the years.”
He adds “The local community surrounding Marang House has played a significant role in operating and sustaining Marang House in the past ten years, for which we are very grateful. Without their support, we would have not made our ten year anniversary.”
