Knysna Education Trust brings smiles
Knysna Education Trust visted Siyafunda Educare centre in Rhobololo, Knysna, to deliver Christmas presents for each of the 86 children in the preschool.
These beautifully wrapped and marked presents were collected by kind folk all over the world to ensure that the children received a Christmas pressie. This brave project was started by Bea Dijkstra who lives in England and holidays here in Knysna (Bea, along with her family, was instrumental in assisting raise a large portion of the funding required to rebuild Siyafunda educare last year). She was able to enlist the help of Linda and Elaine who were the ‘postmen (women)’ here in Knysna, collecting all the parcels which were posted to their private addresses. A mammoth task, as each child was allocated a sponsor who supplied the right age, gender and named present for the child!
A huge thank you must go to all the kind folk who gave selflessly of their time and energy to ensure that these children received their presents in time for Christmas.
Another special thank you goes to Elle Redman, who through her photography, was able to capture the wonder of these children!
