FEED SA – with the kind and generous assistance of Blue Label, arranged a fun and festive Christmas for some of their creches in Soweto, at Mostoaledi Pre School in Soweto… the kids had such fun, on merry go rounds, and jumping castles, with candy floss and popcorn, slush machines and hot dogs and lots and lots of sweets !!!
Father Christmas ( one of the staff at Blue Label )! – handed out all 200 specially wrapped presents, all personally wrapped by Jo-Anne and Justine !!!! The kids were so thrilled and so excited.
They had balloons made by the special balloon “makers” and thoroughly enjoyed this different and fun experience.
It was truly a day to remember – and thanks to Mr Sweet for the yummy sweetie packs we wrapped for the kiddies to take home !!
620 Kids from the Phutaditjaba Community Centre in Alexandra Township were given the wonderful opportunity to celebrate a memorable, fun, festive, delicious and entertianing Chirstmas – filled with lots of fun things to do – special rides to go on and yummy treats with which to fill their tummy’s !!
FEED SA managed to organize the wrapping of all 620 gifts, which was not an easy task, but certainly a pleasant and rewarding one.
The kids played all day, thanks to Clamber Club, jumping castles, stilt walkers, 1st Hot Dog Co many more fun things…. They were so excited to have candy floss,popcorn, slush and hotdogs - all in all they had a fabulous time.
Laughter and screams of joy was heard throughout the day !
Each child has their very own balloon made, by the balloon stilt characters – and they were very in awe and glee of this amazing balloon “maker” !
Many of the kids spent the whole afternoon with Clamber Club, climbing and crawling and balancing and doing little “field trips” amongst all the different colourful equipment… this was a huge favourite amongst many !!
Towards the very end of the afternoon, each child was handed a “surprise sweety bag” which was filled with crayons and some juice, some crisps and some chocolate treats to have for home.
What fun it was to spoil these special little souls and to share in their special and uplifiting experience….
It was a Christmas to be remembered with a big smile …..
HUGE THANKS TO DISCHEM FOUNDATION AND MR SWEET and MANTIS SECURITY !
3000 Senior Citizens from the Phutaditjaba Community Centre in Alexandra Township gathered in Marquees along 17th street in Alexandra to celebrate Christmas with a deliciously cooked luncheon and some very exlcusive entertainment.
Mr Linda Twala, the Community Leader in the township, managed to arrange the closing off of the streets and the citizens were treated to an amazing and memorable day. Stages and lighting, seating and outside restrooms were all part of the arranging and set up.
Many different well known entertainers from the community, including dancers, choirs, bands and tribal dancers amused and entertained the audience the whole afternoon – there was never a dull moment !!
Lunch was served, deserts and cakes were eaten and the festive spirit of Christmas danced around the air.
Each citizen was seated in the marqee and personally handed a big food hamper to take home with them .
Speeches were deliverd, certificates to those who made a difference were handed to certain people and the day was a joy to remember !!!
The joy of giving, is sometimes in the receiving… for the smiles that were worn on the faces of these senior citizens were contagious…and priceless.
