Holiday outreach programme for Karlienpark children 2016
July holidays are around the corner and for many children of Rustenburg, it means a welcome break and maybe a holiday at a warm and cozy holiday resort.
However, many children are not so lucky – especially the children from Karlienpark in Rustenburg, who spend their days roaming the streets with all its potential dangers as there is nothing for them at home. We at G-om/Wee Care would like to make a difference to their situation – as we have been doing for the last few years.
Every year, during the holidays in July, we spend time with around 150 – 200 children from Karlienpark, between the ages of 5 and 18, teaching them creative skills and games and most importantly, feeding them for five days. We do this against the backdrop of the holy gospel and trying to leave them with a bit more hope and enthusiasm for life.
However, as we run our projects solely on donations and the goodwill of the community, we need the support of companies, organisations and individuals to also make a success of this one.
Your specific support for the following items would be highly appreciated!
We need the following items for each day of the holiday programme (to feed 200 kids). Some of the food will be used in the creative art activities (such as decorating their own pizzas)
65 litres of soup 10x 500g tubs of margarine
400 pieces of boerewors 50 bottles sweeto concentrated cooldrink
50 big tins of hot chocolate 100 kg sugar
150 litres of milk (long life) 10 kg poloni
5 – 10 blocks of cheese 200 bananas
15 bags of apples 200 nartjies
200 oranges
Should you consider our request favourably, kindly contact us on the numbers below in order to discuss further.
Again, we appreciate any form of support or donation for this project, however big or small.
G-om/Wee Care greetings.
