While chocolate eggs are not the point of Easter, they do bring lots of joy to communities facing endless struggle; Dr Cliff Bull and supporters collected thousands of eggs for charity.
East Rand, South Africa (11 April 2023) – The East Rand has been sprinkled with chocolaty goodness this Easter; underprivileged children in local orphanages, youngsters at feeding schemes and seniors at retirement homes are showered with love each year and this year has been the best one yet!
Dr Clifford Bull has a great love for Easter time, every year he works towards making sure his community enjoys the joys of Easter by handing out thousands of Easter Eggs. Not only does he promote joy in his community on the East Rand, but he also advocates against gifting bunnies at Easter.
The vet, who owns and runs the Craig View Veterinary Clinic, started the charity challenge in 2018 and managed to collect 50,720 Easter Eggs. In 2019, the charity challenge nearly doubled in collections. Sadly, in 2020 and 2021, the challenge was placed on hold but Dr Cliff decided 2022 would be a big comeback year. The team rallied the community and they collected 1500 boxes of eggs (that’s a whopping 54,000 eggs).
This year, the aim was to collect 1800 boxes of Easter eggs. With just days to go, many followers watched as Dr Bull and his team rallied the community to help them collect the last 500 boxes that were missing. Little did he know, his supporters would donate more than ever.
“It seemed impossible to collect 1800 boxes this year, and we struggled to even get to 500 at a stage.
But Dr Bull believed there always was hope and that seemed to have a knock-on effect…We are extremely proud of this year’s charity challenge, grateful for every box donated and humbled by the support shown.
We exceeded every expectation!
Target: 1800 boxes
Collected: 2409 boxes”
They overshot the collection by a staggering 600 boxes. That is phenomenal and has allowed them to touch the lives of many more people in need.
