Tubs of kindness.
This is a project run by Antonietta Kopke - Co-ordinator
Tubs of kindness.
This is a project run by Antonietta Kopke - Co-ordinator
She has a list of boys and girls ranging from babies 1 years old to 6 year old (preschoolers which will be starting Grade 1 next year) from Founders Educare in Khayelitsha and we decided to sponsor a “Tub of Kindness” for one of these children, Oyisa Bakalisi (5-6years).
The contents (which should be NEW and age appropriate) are as follows:
· Personal Hygiene – one of each - Toothbrush & Toothpaste, Face Cloth, Bar of Soap,
· A set of NEW clothing (shorts/Skirt/pants with Top/Tshirt)
· small packet of sweets,
· A small toy that’s age appropriate
· Educational supplies
The items are placed in 5L ice cream tubs or bigger plastic buckets. These are much more practical to use as a storage container/keepsake box, durable and the idea is that this then becomes a keep safe box where they can store their stuff in.
I gave the ladies items to bring from the list above. Typically, we had to manoeuvre the items carefully as to close the 10litre “filled-to-the-brim” bucket…A HUGE thank you ladies!
And then…the really crafty among us decorated Little Oyisa’s bucket with beautiful Christmas stickers.
Loads of fun, great teamwork, Lekker Saturday morning with the KKC girls!♥🌈
