Spring Party

IIR SA participated in a Spring Party and presentation to our Country Manager, James Gareh on Friday the 22nd of September with children from 7+ creche’s in Lawley, 260+ in total as well as the teachers and principals. This was to celebrate the successful completion of James’s Iron Man Competition during which he raised R135 000 for the Ekukhanyeni Initiative. To show their gratitude the children drew enormous pictures which they presented to him with a song or speech from the various children. Many of the children introduced themselves and showed off their English skills by counting, reciting the alphabet, or telling us what their plans are for the future – you will be glad to know that we have a future President and Health Minister in the making. The Head’s and some teachers from the various schools also took part and soon we were all singing and dancing to the sound of the children’s happy voices. To end off this momentous occasion we handed out party packs with sweets, chips, cool drinks and a lucky packet for each child. Imagine the smiles on their faces. We have attached a few pictures for your perusal too so that you can share in our joy and excitement at being involved in this very worthy cause.
