Helping Hand launched a social media campaign, last Monday, which will dedicate R30 000 to realise Christmas dreams throughout South Africa.<\/p>\n
Helping Hand recently reached the aim of having 30 000 supporters and wants to celebrate this milestone by giving back to communities and to let 30 Christmas dreams come true.<\/p>
Every day for the next 30 days (from November 10), Helping Hand will fulfill a Christmas wish to the value of R1 000.<\/p>\n
\u201cAt Helping Hand there is certainly much joy over the support of so many people for the work we do,\u201d said Dr Danie Brink, Helping Hand\u2019s chief executive.<\/p>
\u201cIn addition, we experience almost daily the joy 30 000 supporters\u2019 money brings in the lives of needy people.<\/p>\n
\u201cNow we in return want to give something to our selfless supporters by giving them the right to nominate people whose Christmas dreams can be realised.\u201d<\/p>\n
Members of the public can nominate any person or institution whose Christmas wish can be realised through Helping Hand.<\/p>\n
Any Christmas wish \u2013 be it an elderly person who is keen to visit his or her family but cannot afford the plane ticket, a soup kitchen that is in urgent need of non-perishables or an old age home that needs blankets for its residents \u2013 can be nominated.<\/p>\n
Nominations can only be done via Helping Hand\u2019s Facebook page by clicking on the tab, 30 Kerswense.<\/p>\n
Every day for the next 30 days Helping Hand will announce a winner, whose Christmas wish will be fulfilled, on Facebook and on Twitter.<\/p>\n
