Over the Festive Season we were able to provide more than 500 children with presents thanks to your contributions. In Cosmo City's RDP area we distributed presents to parents to give to their children as if it were from themselves. As you can see they were very happy! Over and above our yearly outreach we were also able to help 3 other charities with presents for their children this festive season.Thank you for helping us make this Christmas special!
During January we were able to provide 150 children with stationery packs and some tasty 2 minute noodles as part of our Back to School Campaign. The children were so happy to have brand new stationery to start the new year with.
We are looking forward to a generation filled with world changers coming from them. Thank you to everyone who helped make this possible!
Imagine this scenario. There is a position available at a company and they invite two candidates for an interview. One with a degree and 10 years of experience in the field and the other with a lesser degree and two years of experience. On paper the first candidate seems the better choice but when invited to the interview the second candidate is dressed appropriately while the first candidate is dressed in old jeans that are too short and a smelly shirt. Which one will they consider? We often jump to the conclusion that the first candidate is not interested in the position, or is an alcoholic/drug addict and thus does not care about their appearance. Now imagine that I tell you that the first candidate had been retrenched a year ago and two months ago he lost his house and possessions in a fire and has been living in a shack with 5 other people since then as his closest family members live in Cape Town… That this was a desperate plea for a chance to show the company what he/she could do for your company if only given the chance to work his/her way off of the street and back into safety. We would love to help these individuals get the job. By starting our free clothing store where they can come get appropriate clothes and tips on job interviews to help them get the job.We have already raised a substantial amount towards our first years rent but are still short of approximately R20 000. Please will you consider this project and the impact it can have on the lives of the less fortunate. We can not do this without your help. Please help us help the surrounding communities in their fight. We are in desperate need of any contributions that you or your company can make to this great cause! We have found a suitable warehouse in Kya Sands and would love your help in this fight against poverty
