FULL TOY RUN PROGRAMME DETAILS:
Let me start with the goodnews::clap:
The goodnews I alluded to yesterday is as follows. A social development organisation (which will be announced on the day) pledged a significant donation in value & cash of approximately R100 000+ to the Durbanville Children's Home; which we will hand-over; to the kids and staff on the day. This is an amazing and generous donation. I spoke to one of the project coordinators of the Children's Home, yesterday and they were moved by this news since it appeared they would have ended the year on a very low note due to the lack of financial resources to meet some of the basic needs of the kids and organisation. (Check the needs of the organisation and children below). It will be such a pleasure to share the cheque & news with them on Sunday. This should be an inspiration to all of the Club & Fanatics members to make an effort to participate in the run so we can all share in this goodnews with the kids. :clap::thumbsup:
