Yesterday a few of the Rhino Africa staff took some time out from tailormaking luxury safari holidays, to give a little more back to the community. We do a lot of that around here 🙂
This time Sian, Justine, Helen and Samantha spent the morning filling shoeboxes with a vast assortment of sponsored gifts. Some came from our staff, some from our clients. To everyone who donated, a big thank you! Everything from pencils and school books to toys, blankets and clothes found their way into the shoeboxes, and the girls did a fine job of wrapping and packing the lot. I made coffee, an understated but never-the-less important task.
The Santa Shoebox Project is an inspiring community initiative, which collects uniquely personalized Christmas gifts for socially disadvantaged youth. The project is unique in that the donor knows the name, age, gender and residence of the child the gift is intended for. You can find out more about the project on their website at www.santashoebox.co.za.
The boxes were delivered to the Santa Shoe Box project and in two months time, several lucky underprivileged children will be recieving a shoe box full of gifts from Rhino Africa! Congratulations to the girls for taking the initiative, you can be sure the kids will appreciate every bit of effort!
