Laerskool Oosterkruin Primary is in the process of organising a very special event.<\/p>\n
The Big Birthday Bash will be held on June 25 and is aimed at celebrating the birthdays of all the needy children in the school.<\/p>
There are 55 children from 27 families who will be spoiled on the day.<\/p>\n
\u201cOnce a year a very special day arrives.<\/p>
\u201cA day that is only yours \u2013 for one whole day.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis day is your birthday and you wake up to this day with excitement and anticipation.<\/p>\n
\u201cYou can\u2019t wait for all the hugs, congratulations, sweeties, cake and of course the present,\u201d said Anita Visser, from Laerskool Oosterkruin.<\/p>\n
\u201cBut what if your parents can\u2019t afford to make your special day special for you?<\/p>\n
\u201cWhat if there is no money to buy a cake or a present?<\/p>\n
\u201cWhat if everyone would rather ignore your birthday, because there is just no way they can give you something?\u201d<\/p>\n
This is why the Samaritan Project from Laerskool Oosterkruin Primary is hosting the Big Birthday Bash for all the school\u2019s needy children.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe want to give each child their own cake and present,\u201d Anita said.<\/p>\n
The school is appealing to the community to get on board with the project, and they need \u201cguardian angels\u201d to sponsor each child with a birthday cake and present.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt is also the start of the winter school holidays, so we would also like to give each family a food parcel and a warm blanket,\u201d Anita added.<\/p>\n
Sponsorship of food parcels would also be highly appreciated.<\/p>\n
Donations can be delivered to Anita, in the office at Laerskool Oosterkruin, in Batavia Street, Gerdview. Email to admin@oosterkruin.co.za if you would like to become a guardian angel for the day.<\/p>\n
To make the birthday party extra special, the school is also looking for donations of cold drinks, paper plates, cups and sweets, boerewors and rolls., so help with these would be appreciated.<\/p>\n
