Tiny Investments, Huge Rewards!

  Tiny Investments, Huge Rewards

 

What if I told you that making tiny investments can bring you huge returns? Would you be interested?

Yes, you would be interested! Making small connections with your child may seem meaningless to many people, but it is tiny investments which will give you huge rewards in the future.

 Imagine talking with someone and the person does not acknowledge you in any way, not even a glance. You wonder if the person can actually hear you. How does it feel when you think someone is ignoring you or does not want to acknowledge you? Most of us don’t like it, yet we do it to others all the time. The worst is that we are doing it to our children.

Most children feels rejected, unwanted, unworthy and under valued. This is not because they are, it is because most of the time or sometimes, we as their parents do not notice them. We do not acknowledge them. Many times children only get negative attention. This is when they do or say things that are unacceptable. The sad part is, we don’t even realize that we are doing it. We are so caught up in our technology that we don’t engage with our children. The irony is that our children does what we teach them to do. When they do it with us, we want to go ballistic. Many times we are not aware of the tiny investments we can make in order for us to receive huge positive returns. 

If you want your child to take note of you, then teach your child how to take note. Look into your child’s eyes when you talk with your child. If your child enters the room, be happy to see your child. May your face light up. Be genuinely interested in what he or she has to say or do. Engage with your child. Did you know, for a child to feel loved, there must be a connection. One of the easiest ways for me, to connect with children, are with my eyes. Look in your child’s eyes when he or she speaks. Put down your digital device. Be present. Ask questions. Listen intently. Be there for your child. It does not cost you anything. Years from now you will be grateful you made these tiny investments which are giving you huge returns.

Requesting Your Support!

Dear Sir/Madam

Requesting partnership towards National Children’s Day-November2020

 National Children’s Day, which is the first Saturday in November each year, will NOT be celebrated this year as we have been celebrating it for the past seven years, due to COVID 19. This year we are giving away vouchers to the value of R200 each, to the children which they can use for the Stationery, Clothes, Toys, Toiletries, and Luxuries. Please help us to make this a reality. We will give out the vouchers during the month of November 2020, delivering it to their homes.

 Since 2013 we, as an organization have celebrated National Children’s Day in Eldorado Park. This is a day where children are reminded that they are valuable and loved by GOD and their community. Children are encouraged to play and just enjoy being children, knowing their responsibilities and rights. They receive something to eat and drink. There are jumping castles, horse riding, a petting zoo, face painting, arts and crafts, a talent show, workshops on how to do things like planting, recycling and so much more. This is all for free. Last year, 2019 there were more than 1700 people at the event, we prepared for 2000 children which cost R100000.00, some of the things are sponsored and there is no cost involved. This year we are planning for 5000 children which will cost R1000 000.00 for the vouchers alone.

Looking at Wikepedia we found that though this day is celebrated around the world and the South African government declared the first Saturday in November as National Children’s Day. We have not seen anything that is being planned for this day as yet and therefore would like you to participate with us in giving vouchers to the children. Remember, as we are planting seeds of hope in the lives of children, we are investing in our own future.  

We have partnered with a number of Non-Profit Organizations that will help us distribute the vouchers to each child on our database. They are the following: Blessed To Be A Blessing, Ithemba Lomphakhati, Rainbow Day Care, Twinkle Twinkle Little Star, Dignity Campaign, Operation Hope Child, Sizabantwana, KD Golden Age Club, Children’s Legacy Foundation, AS-U-R Food Gardens, Sizwa Bantwana, and Size Feeds.

 We know this is short notice but trust you will make the decision to partner with us and reach out to the children in our communities. The first time this idea was shared with our contacts three ladies of our regular donors responded immediately, two of these ladies are pensioners. They are seeing the value of what we do in our communities.

 One child told us that being at National Children’s Day is the one place he feels so loved. Another said this the only thing he looks forward to each year. We trust that with the absence of all the activities this year may this small token of an R200 voucher, remind our children how dear they are to us and how they should value themselves even more. They should love themselves and love others, giving honor and respect to others as it is done to them.

Please feel free to contact us for more information. Thank you for all your support.

YOU CAN GIVE HERE! THANK YOU!
