The King’s School Robin Hills was filled with excitement when learners gathered around towering stacks of colourful boxes.

What began as a small Easter project quickly grew into something special – over 100 boxes filled with marshmallow Easter eggs, each one carefully collected by eager hands and generous hearts. Learners, teachers, and parents worked together, driven by a shared goal: To bring joy to others.

The sweet treats were prepared for donation to Africa Food for Thought, an organisation dedicated to supporting children and communities in need. For many students, it was more than just giving sweets; it was about spreading kindness and hope. The initiative didn’t stop there. A portion of the donations were also delivered to nearby Ekklesia Park, a faith-based retirement community that the school partners with in some of their community outreach initiatives.

The school had not only collected treats; they had created moments of happiness that would go far beyond their classrooms.

Natasha Veer Mark, from the school, explained that they collect boxes of Easter eggs to bless other people. “We bless them, we also connect with Africa Food for Thought, and then they also distribute the donations out to different organisations and children during Easter.

“We don’t just collect the eggs; we create messages and paste them onto the eggs. Messages of encouragement and scriptures. We do that for the children, and to encourage people during Easter.”
