Funds to S. Africa
Posted 25th November 2008
Today November 25th £800 was sent out to South Africa to try and give the children attending The Thandukuphila Centre for Christmas a small present each.
Christmas does not happen for these children unless second-hand toys are donated then the crèche children with great excitement receive one small toy each. Occasionally toothbrushes, soap, deodorants and face flannels are donated and these go to the teenagers but many of the children receive nothing.
The children understand about Christmas so the thought of them receiving nothing was very hard. I think for future years sending an amount of money to help give the children a Christmas gift and a party will be a very worthwhile thing to do.
