A Fresh spin for Little Pina Pina
DJ FRESH is partnering with Gumtree for the Gumtree Extreme ReFresh, a restoration project that could cause world peace ... well, at least make a big change to a few children's lives.
For the Gumtree Extreme ReFresh, the local DJ spearheaded the renovation and refurbishment of Little Pina Pina – a day-care centre located in Soweto – using donations made on Gumtree by Gauteng residents.
On 19 August, Fresh and the ReFresh team visited the centre to scope out the work to be done and meet with Lorraine Mnyandu, Little Pina Pina’s principal.
During the ReFresh, the Big Dawg will call on the people of Gauteng to clear out their garages and donate items on Little Pina Pina’s wish list by visiting www.gumtree.co.za and following the simple steps to post an ad to donate an item.
To make the process even easier, if the donated item is needed for the ReFresh, Gumtree will arrange for it to be collected directly from the donor and delivered to Little Pina Pina.
The ReFresh team will travel around the province for the collections, ticking off items on the wish list.
In addition to calling for items to be donated, DJ Fresh and the ReFresh team are also asking Gauteng-based service providers and small businesses to volunteer their time and skills to help renovate the run-down facility.
Little Pina Pina is in need of a new lick of paint, new vinyl flooring, artificial grass, re-plumbing, electrical wiring and numerous other things to create a safe and secure environment for young children to learn and play.
To get involved in the Gumtree Extreme ReFresh, visit Gumtree to make a donation for an item or service.
Simply click the Donate Now button, select a location, category and add #ReFresh to the title of the ad.
The ReFresh team will get in touch with donors to let them know if their items or services are needed for the ReFresh of Little Pina Pina.
The new daycare centre will be unveiled on 10 September.
