August Awareness Month 2012

August Social Awareness Month 2012

This year we will be kicking off with a "Reach for your Slippers" Day. On Friday 3rd August, you can come to school in your slippers, pay R10 and receive a sticker. All proceeds will go to the Reach for a Dream Foundation.

Let's do this!!!

We will also be collecting the following:

• Bread tags for recycling. Money goes to buying wheelchairs for the poor.
• SALT bags - non-perishable food for HIV patients at local clinics.
• five cent coins - money goes to the Lucky Lucy Fund
• A Bumper Cake Sale in conjunction with the PCOS(Parklands College Outreach Society) - proceeds will go to the Lucky Lucy Fund.

Mandela Day - Ideas

Mandela Day is on 18 July. Here are some ideas on how to spend 67 minutes in service for others:

• Collect bread tags from friends, family and neighbours and bring to school during August Social awareness Month.
• Collect clothes, blankets and non-perishable foods to donate to Good Hope Fm's Winter Warmer Project and bring the goods to Caltex opposite Super Spar in Parklands on 4 July.

• Collect books, magazines and educational toys and donate to local creches, schools or libraries in poor communities.
• Weed an elderly neighbour's garden.
• Walk an elderly or sick neighbour's dog.
• Offer to do a sick or elderly neighbour's shopping.
• Read to a blind person.
• Offer your service at the animal shelter.
•  Babysit your younger siblings so your parents can take a break or go on a date.
• Further ideas can be found or added to UN's site.
