Remember, it’s more than just a gift it’s a demonstration of your feelings. Gift giving is actually a way to invest in a relationship. In essence, it is a social lubricant, a way to celebrate life, love and friendship and become a better person.

Christmas is a season of giving and thinking about our loved ones especially those who don’t know the Christmas spirit around their families. The Christmas tree was also erected, decorated with gifts to give the essence of Christmas Spirit.

Santa is coming to town

With AMMISH COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT Christmas came early this year on the 28th November 2020. Our beneficiaries couldn’t wait for the day to arrive for them to receive GIFTS from SANTA SHOE BOX PROJECT. We have distributed 302 Christmas gifts from the Santa Shoebox Project. Beneficiaries gifts were packed according to their grades, gender and age. It was easy for Ammish Team to distribute and work efficiently with our work for the day.

Joy despite Rain

On the day of distribution the weather was not favorable, it was drizzling but didn’t stop the event to be executed to be given gifts, packed lunch and the party packs, not forgetting sanitizing and wearing of masks to prevent the spread of COVID-19 . It was a different Christmas party this year 2020 with the COVID -19 Pandemic on our minds. 
But guess what! Mother Christmas was still there to distribute presents to individuals, a day to be remembered. Mother Christmas came to town as for many of our BENEFICIARIES it was their first experience to feel, touch and receive a gift from her. They were all happy to be pampered and acknowledged, given love to experience Christmas in a special different way…

Not forgetting our supporter Mr. Sithole from Engen Garage (Soweto) and our backers in Germany, Andreas and friends to make the day to be a success – Thank You and my God bless You!

Right at the end of November Santa Clause came to town. Fortunately we could win Santa Shoebox this year to partner with us and give out more than 700 shoeboxes – packed full of little presents – to our children. You should have seen those big, big smiles  . Santa Shoebox Project collects donations from families that are better off, who pack their gifts in small shoeboxes addressed to a specific child. All kids on our registers were so lucky to get their personal box. Now all the kids are busy unpacking their presents and can’t wait to know what is hidden inside. Hopefully we’ll get the chance to spread the same joy next year!
