Looking our best for Christmas

 

It’s pretty much a tradition here in South Africa that children, no matter how poor the family, get a new outfit for Christmas.  We really want to keep this tradition alive, because it’s meaningful to many of our girls and boys. 

Last year, thanks to the kindness of our friends and followers, we were able to buy each of our 64 children a new outfit for Christmas.  

Will you help us this year?

Our boys and girls normally only get hand-me-downs and don’t ever get to pick out their own clothes; they never get to try on something brand new in a shop.

Can you imagine what it’s like never to get new clothes like all the other kids at school do?

Our boys and girls are always very grateful for everything they are given but to have a BRAND NEW outfit they’ve picked out for themselves is a big deal. Last year they felt the  excitement of choosing their own smart Christmas clothes for the first time.

You can help us bring back the magic again this year. You can give them an exciting treat of going on a shopping trip, of trawling the mall for that special pair of pants or shoes at the right price, of taking home clothing with a price tag on it!  It will be an awesome day out.

It’s not long till the holidays so, if you can, will you sponsor a shopping trip right now for at least one of our young people? Just R300 will buy a complete new outfit and make a boy or girl feel really special at Christmas! 

Thank you!
