year.<\/p><div class=\"stream-item stream-item-in-post stream-item-inline-post aligncenter\"><\/div>\n<p>It is so easy to get involved \u2013 all you need to do is buy a sticker or glam up your takkies with some funky, ethnic shoelaces.<\/p>\n<p>The Tekkie Tax Day campaign was established in 2013, when a large number of welfare organisations joined forces to secure a fund-raising initiative which benefits more than 1 000 welfare organisations in South Africa, servicing different causes and different sectors.<\/p><div class=\"stream-item stream-item-in-post stream-item-inline-post aligncenter\"><\/div>\n<p>Child Welfare Germiston as a beneficiary is once again excited to participate, as the campaign has been growing from strength to strength annually and, last year, more than R6-million was raised.<\/p>\n<p>In 2015, Child Welfare Germiston was awarded a certificate for being the runner-up in the child welfare group, for selling the second highest number of stickers.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis year our aim is to be the number one child welfare organisation in the country \u2013 selling the most stickers,\u201d said Barbara Bouwer, Germiston Child Welfare director.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe can achieve this only with the community\u2019s support.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSo come on, get your department together, have some fun, dress up and send us photos of your Tekkie Tax Day, get your child\u2019s school involved, your friends, your family, and send us your photos.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Stickers cost R10 and the shoelaces R35, which includes a sticker of your choice.<\/p>\n<p>Adult T-shirts are R90 and children\u2019s T-shirts are R70.<\/p>\n<p>You can support either animals, bring hope, children, people with disabilities or education.<\/p>\n<p>To join in the fun and support the sector where your heart lies, contact Barbara on 082 804 8376, or email to info@childwelfaregermiston.org.za and the organisation will send you order forms, posters and pamphlets.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Other articles you may be interested in:<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/germistoncitynews.co.za\/120345\/women-and-childrens-safety-put-first\/\"
