A heartwarming tale of kindness unfolded as Beanies for Beings, along with generous supporters, brought Christmas cheer to 26 underprivileged children at two creches in Diepsloot.
Diepsloot, South Africa (10 December 2024) – Truly great things happen when kind people come together to bring a little warmth and joy to little lives.
Thanks to the support of Beanies for Beings and the generosity of its supporters what started out as a Christmas party planned for 16 children of Yellow Star Creche, soon grew into a heartwarming celebration for 26 when a fellow creche in Diepsloot extension 12 offered to host it.
The children, many of whom had never experienced such joy and generosity, were showered with gifts, delicious food, and the love and attention of volunteers.
“The 16 children were snapped up by our generous followers within a few hours, three food buckets for the teachers were pledged and all the food was also offered.
“The additional 10 children and teachers were sponsored by us. It then grew to biscuit tubs and toiletry packs being gifted for all five teachers and then toiletries for all the children, and a cash donation for transport for Masilo was gifted,” said Beanies for Beings.
Volunteers, Mother Christmas Sophia, and Father Christmas Masilo loaded the bakkie with all the goodies and off they went to spread Christmas cheer and the blessing of hope to these children and teachers who had never experienced a party and gifts like this ever before.
A sweet highlight of the day saw the cutest little boy, Hlogi even dressed up in a Christmas outfit, even though he was petrified of Father Christmas.
“He eventually decided the party was just too much for him and he passed out from exhaustion. The other littlies were in awe of all that was going on, and I’m sure will all be sleeping long before bedtime tonight.
“Our thanks to all those who made today such a success, we couldn’t have achieved this without you.”
