2015 Jan: Bonga, we thank you!
Gratitude.
Giving back is a way of giving thanks; thanks for what we have, and what we are able to give. And today we’re so grateful to Bonga Foods and the Bonga Foundation for their warm generosity. Their most recent donation has enabled us to give back to the Venda community which supports us in harvesting Baobab fruit for EcoProducts. We’ve used Bonga’s generous donation to build Jungle Gyms and swings at the Zigodini pre-school. Before, all they had to play with in the dusty school grounds were some old car tyres. Now they play on the jungle-gym all day long – to watch their exuberant joy in playing, swinging and sliding is a gift all of itself!
Winters are very cold and these little ones were having to sleep on the cold cement floor. Now with Bonga’s donation we’ve been able to help provide some desperately needed mattresses and blankets for the children’s mid-morning naps. We’ve also been able to contribute practical maintenance such as fixing all the leaks in the roof and mending the surrounding fence so that the kids can stay safe and can’t wander off the property.
These are all such basic things which we take for granted; now Zigodini Pre-school can too.
Thank you Bonga Foundation. You demonstrate the true wisdom of nurturing our future. And children are our future.
If anyone else would like to contribute to Zigodini Pre-school in any way, please contact me at info@ecoproducts.co.za
