Every centre had a lovely end of year celebration with the children and the volunteers. Amongst the celebration ideas, Carrie chose to do watermelon and cookies, and Leigh Anne and Mathy did cup cakes and strawberries. Every child who attends Shine received a wonderful certificate that was printed with money that was donated to The Shine Centre by The Sanlam Investment Management (a division of Sanlam Life Insurance Ltd). Thank you for this. The certificates are a wonderful way for us to thank our children for all the hard work they have put in this year, and to help encourage them in the year to come.
In addition, Leigh Anne and her team made up wonderful holiday packs for all the children in Grade 2, not just for our Shine children. Every boy and girl in Grade 2 at Zonnebloem received a pack.
This was a very generous and time- consuming exercise for the Zonnebloem team, which I know entailed Leigh Anne driving all over the Peninsula to save old magazines being pulped!
Consequently, each Grade 2 child ( over 80 of them) received at least one, if not two, quality magazines, ranging from 'The Children's National Geographic,' to the fun 'Disney' magazine.Included in the pack were pencils, puzzles and word searches, all lovingly copied and packed by Leigh Anne and her young team of helpers. Thank you for that beautifully thoughtful gesture!
The children now have something to while away hours of leisure time.
I know the children were extremely excited to receive their A4 envelope, with a seasonal motive on the outside, stuffed with goodies!
