Kinders share the care

A CLUSTER of local kindergartens is giving back this Christmas.
Kinders Together has been supporting two very important charities that touch the lives of children within the community and across the globe.
A small Christmas gift for staff has been purchased from Oxfam along with a twin doll for each centre.
The twin dolls are hand made by mothers with disabled children through the Batsiranai craft project in Harare, Zimbabwe, in Africa.
For every doll that Kinders Together has purchased, a twin doll will be given to a disadvantaged child whose family has been affected by HIV/AIDS in some way.
Staff are also encouraging the dolls to be incorporated into each centre’s program.
Closer to home, Kinders Together has delivered 120 toys and 89 children’s books to the 4Cs headquarters to be distributed to families in need this Christmas.
4Cs currently has more than 1000 families registered to be provided with support this Christmas.
Kinder staff have also volunteered to assist 4Cs in distributing hampers in December, which is another way of strengthening the relationship between the two community-based organisations.
