This being said and in true Christmas spirit, there was nothing that could have stopped us to once again invite and spoil 110 children from 3 different crèches, which we care for on a permanent basis. There was BIG excitement when the large busses picked the children up in the townships of Khayelitsha and Phillipi to take them to our venue of choice for 2011 - the Zip Zap Circus School (www.zip-zap.co.za), where we arranged for an exclusive show for the kids.  The circus is a very laudable non-profit organisation in Cape Town, which has, for over 18 years, been providing free circus and performing arts training for youths from all different walks of life. The kids watched the truly amazing and inspiring show by the young acrobats in absolute awe, providing much happiness and hope beyond the performance.

Afterwards our team entertained the by now already “glowing” kids  with jumping castles, games, hotdogs and face painting, the latter having the longest queue by far!  But what would Christmas be without a present to go home with - each one of the kids was last seen happily boarding the bus clutching a bag with a variety of goodies, throwing us hand kisses as they took off.

So, it looks like we have done it again – together! It was a wonderful surprise for the children and a happy day for us all.  We are extremely grateful to be able to give something back to the community, not least because of your generous patronage, for which we are most grateful!
