Thank you Kevin Bates Flooring & Carpeting (Pty) Ltd for carpeting the BreakThrough Centre.
Over the past 6 years, we were able to assist about 3500 children with a gift for life school starter packs. Thank you for your continued support to make this possible. Little David in the picture was so thrilled with the new uniforms and schoolbooks last year. He can now wear new clothes and fit in with the rest of the classmates. See the delight in the eyes of Mary.
Only eternity will reveal how many children’s lives you helped change by giving the greatest gift of education. Education and skills development is greatest need in our country. This year we are focusing on the Duduza tornado hit area and some of the kids we help in Gauteng. After our three outreach programmes last year with these people, we will be concentrating to see how much we can help in this are over the first quarter of 2012. We have been working with the Red Cross. I am in contact with the chairperson person of the Duduza teacher’s forum. Our target for Duduza is 700 children. If we get a good response, we will then see how many children we can help in Gauteng.
Once I know how much funding we will receive from the disaster funding, I will arrange a meeting with the chairperson of School principal forum in Duduza to get the details of the children and do the necessary. I spoke to him last week and he was delighted that we that we are considering doing something for this disaster hit region in terms of their school needs. He says that some of the kids were helped with school bags and some stationery immediately after the tornado in October last year by the government. He says there is so much need and would give me any assistance to identify the most needy children affect by the disaster.
Included in the school starter pack are School shirt, pants/skirt, socks, shoe, bag and some basic stationery. The average cost is R650 per pack.
Thank you for helping build a better South Africa.
