Smiles and soccer balls thanks to Walking the Talk

A joint effort between three non-profit organisations placed soccer balls into the hands of underprivileged children.

KICK off is on the cards for the children of three schools in KZN thanks to a joint-initiative by Amanzimtoti non-profit organisation (NPO), Walking the Talk Foundation (WTTF), Hope Foundation and Moti Cares.

The collaboration helped bring joy and excitement to learners through a donation of 180 soccer balls, generously sponsored by Moti Cares. The balls were distributed jointly by WTTF and Hope Foundation to Mason Lincoln Special Needs School, Durban School for Hearing Impaired and Isipingo Hills Primary School. Monument Primary School in Krugersdorp also received soccer balls for use in their sports arena.

Dale van Blerk, founder of WTTF, said the heart-warming initiative aims to encourage physical activity, teamwork, inclusion and, most importantly, to put smiles on the faces of children who deserve every opportunity to play and enjoy being young.

“At Walking The Talk Foundation, we believe that making a difference does not always require something big. Sometimes, something as simple as a soccer ball can bring tremendous joy to a child’s life. We are incredibly grateful to Moti Cares for their generous sponsorship and to Hope Foundation for partnering with us to make this possible,” said Van Blerk.
