| Last year's Christmas Party, Phakama community kids, Hannah from Mammas Meeting Place and Me |
I would really love to see our communities kids face's as happy as these little faces,
please join me in making this a reality!
How it works: It's as easy as 1, 2, 3
1. Write to me at info@susanakennedy.com and let me know how many children you will be giving christmas gifts to and what area you are in, I will then send you a child's name, age, gender and a drop off location.
2. Find an empty shoebox, doctorate it and fill it with gifts.

3. Drop it off by the 2nd of December.
- An outfit of clothing
- A toy (eg. doll or car)
- Something to get creative with (crayon's/paint/pencil's/play dough/etc)
- Toothpaste

Remember to assess whether the contents of your shoebox are appropriate to the age of the recipient child. For example, don’t give marbles to a 2-year old but give them to a child over the age of 6. Another example would be to give a razor to a teenager but not to a younger child.
