A small contribution towards party packs can help ensure children far away from home feel loved, valued, and celebrated. The Robin Hood Foundation is making it happen!
Durban KwaZulu-Natal (02 September 2024) – Remember the thrill and magical feeling of receiving a party pack filled with all sorts of goodies and treats that you just couldn’t wait to dig into? Seeking to bring some smiles and childhood fun to the children of Ethembeni Special School is The Robin Hood Foundation and its drive to make a meaningful difference.
Ethembeni School, a state-subsidised school for children with physical and visual impairments, serves as a home away from home for many who travel hundreds of kilometres to receive specialised education.
Every year, Robin Hood holds a Celebration of Life Party at the school. This year, the school is turning 40, and the charity would love to make it even more special for the children.
The annual party is the highlight of the year for these children as they experience the thrill of inflatable activities, the joy of carnival rides, and the excitement of festive entertainment. The day is filled with delicious food, laughter, and unforgettable memories.
“We would love to spoil each child with a party pack. There are 165 children, from grades 0-7, boys and girls. We are looking for 165 items of each. These include chips, popcorn, sweets, lolly pops, biscuits, stationery items, exercise books, soap, face clothes, toothbrushes, toothpaste, toys, branded items like pens, rulers, caps, T-shirts etc,” the charity appealed.
If you can sponsor any items towards the party packs, you can drop them off by the 10 September or email Charlotte at info@robinhoodfoundation.co.za.
