Shoe box gifts

Metaha

64 children received gifts which were packed in a shoe box. In each box, there were items such as shampoo, toothpaste, tooth brush, pens, different pencils, some note books, toys and games. Each box was different from the other as it was given by individual children. These gifts were facilitated by a friend in Outjo, Wilma Schoeman, who got them from Netherlands. Early this year, Wilma requested for a list of children to get the donation, therefore only children who were in the club last year received the gifts two weeks ago.

The children who got games in their boxes were requested to donate them to the whole group. These games are kept at the office for everyone to play with. Last Friday, the children sat inside the office yard and chose games they wanted to play with; which varied from different puzzles, cards, dominoes, skipping robes, balls etc. Some games could be played by one person while others could be played in different group sizes.

Each child took part in different games as he or she wished.

It is real joy to watch children playing and enjoying themselves that much as we could see them jumping up and down with smiles on their faces.

The Omapitiro Weyuva club is extending its gratitude to the children in Netherlands who donated the shoe boxes, Wilma Schoeman and everyone who facilitated this process for the gifts to reach our club.
