Spreading sweet love and hope
A well-known local, Sharday van den Berg is asking the community to help her make this festive season more festive for the children.
While Christmas brings smiles to most people’s faces, there are those to whom Christmas is just a reminder of what they cannot have.
Many residents make it a priority to help the less fortunate in our community to make the festive season a little more festive for them.
One of these people is Sharday van den Berg, who said that in previous years she also organised projects to help the kids in the community, but that she took a break last year.
This year she is back and ready to help, but she needs your help too.
On Friday, 29 November she will be visiting an Early Childhood Development (ECD) centre in Munsieville, to take some cake for the children to enjoy, and bring a smile to the little one’s faces. She asked for donations of cake mix so that she and her willing helpers could bake for the kids. The cake mix they do not use will come in handy for another project she is organising.
Sharday also wishes to distribute 1 000 shoe box gifts to children in the community and humbly asked that people donate gift boxes containing a stationary item, at toiletry item, and age-appropriate toy, a sweet and a pair of socks.
She asked that the boxes not be wrapped and come with a clear indication whether it is for a boy or a girl, and the age of the child.
The cake mix and shoe boxes can be dropped of at 1 Battery Street, Wentworth Park.
