HERE’S HOW THE ISIQALO CHILDREN OF NORMAT FARMS STARTED THEIR CHRISTMAS HOLIDAY: BY DRESSING UP AS COWBOYS (AND GIRLS), TO JOIN THE COWBOY CHRISTMAS PARTY.
The party was organised by not-for-profit organisation, Ordinary People, and Normat Farms. And the support we received from our partners made the day incredibly special for the children – with every contribution hugely appreciated!
The children enjoyed a range of activities, including a tug of war contest and a treasure hunt. But the highlight was undoubtedly when Father Christmas emerged from the fruit orchard, with gifts for each child. The gifts were donated by the wonderful Santa Shoebox – a project which provides gifts to underprivileged children across South Africa and Namibia every year.
The magic of Christmas
For the Isiqalo Development Trust, events like this show how these partnerships can change the lives of children. Especially when some children do not have the opportunity at home to experience the magic of Christmas time.
That’s why, when amazing organisations like Ordinary People and Santa Shoebox join Isiqalo, we can together create an unforgettable day for these pre-schoolers and youth. They see that Christmas is a time of joy, happiness and enchantment. And they can take a little something home with them to remind them of this special time.
From Isiqalo’s side, we’re so grateful to both Ordinary People and Santa Shoebox. And we look forward to working with you again in 2019!
