Give to a child
2006-11-30
CHRISTMAS 2006. This will be the first year the Rotary Club of Drakenstein joins other Rotary Clubs throughout the world with the very successful ‘Rotary Tree of Joy’ project.
The project collects and distributes presents for those less fortunate, and will bring joy to 200 children of Paarl this year.
The Tree at the Paarl Mall is now adorned not only with decorations but also with envelopes, each one containing a “wish” from a child who has told the Rotary Club of Drakenstein what they would like for Christmas.
The child’s age and name will also be on the card. The maximum value of the gifts will be R50.
The Rotary Club of Drakenstein will identify various underprivileged homes in Paarl and asked for wishes from children up to 16 years, some of whom had never received a gift in their whole lives.
The cards will be attached to the tree at a height that people can read and reach.
Then it is up to the public to choose a wish that they want to fullfil, go off, buy it, wrap the present (if they want) and return it with the wish to the collection point (next to the tree).
From 18 to 22 December Christmas Father will be there and kids can have their picture taken with him.
