Thank you so much for the support you have given to this project, it means the world. 

This project was intended to be small, but people were so glad for what I am doing for children who can't raise their own voice and ask for themselves. I have been the one asking / begging on their behalf, but I don't mind, as I know why I am doing this, for the children, no matter what race, it is a child, and every child has the right to know that they are loved, they belong, and that they are not forgotten. God has already blessed our project that I am in position to already give 550 abandoned children a beautiful Christmas gift. This was new to me, and only now when I started to work with the social workers, I realized the GREAT GREAT need out there that is right under our noses.

We still have about 50 tins we can sponsor, but I saw a big opportunity to make toddlers very happy (age 2 - 5) - they all love scooters. So in some of the camps where families are living, I want to give the children a scooter, the tins that I have made up for them, I can then use to bless more children. For the same pledge of R120 per child, the kids will get a scooter, with a ball attached to it, and 2 age appropriate toys tied to it. The purchase price of the scooter costs R119 and is selling @ R189, they are very durable virgin plastic scooters.

Then still adding a ball and 2 toys, we are looking at a gift worth R250. I have 50 scooters that the Factory toy shop made available to me, that I would love to get support on from BMW club, as it being a "bike", and I will even put a BMW sticker on it.

Furthermore, and this is my passion and weakness - at Woodside Special Care Centre is a residential home caring for 80 profoundly intellectually and physically disabled residents and is situated in Rondebosch East, Cape Town, South Africa. Since its inception in 1976 Woodside has worked diligently towards building a home of safety and security for its residents, all of whom require specialised care and who are unable to remain within their family units.

The young "adults" there, are actually still children. Now this is for such an institute that the big teddy's will work brilliantly.

I read their entire website and look at what the physio's do with them. They do water therapy to stimulate and relax their limbs.

And I see for indoor stimulation they build puzzles and blocks with them. My heart broke when I saw these kids. 19 Children in this home are totally abandoned.

This is but one of the charities that your donations will be supporting: http://www.woodside.org.za/our-services/#children_activities

Now this is powerful work that they do with extreme special needs children.
