On behalf of Metro Kids Africa and all the children who received shoeboxes, I want to say a big thank you to all at Southpoint. You have helped give 600 plus Christmas gifts this year, to the children who attend Sidewalk in Lower Crossroads and Khayelitsha.
From the wrapping and packing of the shoeboxes session to the actual handing out of the gifts SP people have been fantastic. What a privilege for us here at Metro to have you on board helping us.
For those who came and helped give out the gifts I am sure it will make a lasting impression. As the gifts arrived at the Lower Crossroads site, 400 children on a dirty, open field started cheering with their faces lit up with excitement when they saw cars piled high with gifts. There were sighs and screams of pleasure as they opened the lids of the shoeboxes and peeked inside.
Khayelitsha’s giving out day was much more calm and ordered and the kids hugged and thanked the SP people there as they received their gifts. The leaders have had parents coming to their houses thanking them for the gifts, it has made such an impression.
So a big thank you from us all for what seems so little to us but means
such a lot to hundreds of children.
