moppies 10 Posted November 7, 2011 (edited) Hallo fellow forum members Today I want to beg (never did this in my life but this is for a good cause). I hope this is allowed To make a long story short, 12 w children has been identified in a childrens' home in Viljoenskroon (Free State). A few ladies in Potchefstroom is going to have a Christmas party for them on 19 November 2011. We have arranged a water slide, ice cream, hot dogs, chips, coldrink and sweets for them. We were also able to get bags with their names embroidered on the bags. This is where my problem starts. We have a few goodies to put in the bags but our dire need is stationary i.e. pens, pencil case, pencils, rubbers, sharpeners, rulers. color pencils, scissors and so on. The ages of the children ranges between 5 and 15 years and are both boys and girls. Our funds ran dry and that is why I am here to beg from you. Is there anybody out there that can assist - if you can only give me 12 pens or 12 pencil cases or something for 12 children? Hope there is someone out there who will hear my plea!

DIY PRODUCTS 10 Posted November 8, 2011 Please email me the details, I have technicians going to VJK tomoro for intsallations so I can send mine with them, if too late the person in charge in VJK can contact Rudi Tolmay, he is our Officer in VJK, our techs will leave the parcel with him. Also, if you can, send me some names of the kids and I can engrave their names on their parcels before hand to make them feel special. This is a cause close to my heart and hope that everybody that can, should really make an effort! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
