On a warm Saturday morning in Boksburg North, Centenery Hall Eeufees Saal was abuzz with activity as tablers from Boksburg 17, Edenvale 63, Golden East 181, and Jukskei 217 gathered to bring joy to 200+ children. Our mission was clear: to fill their little hearts with happiness.
As is customary, we started off with a chow to boost our blood sugar levels, and split into small teams to prepare food, sort gifts, and inflate the jumping castle. We even lowered a small human through a window to provide electricity for the party.
The entertainment kicked off with Chris from Miles of Smiles stilt walking and juggling, and the kids were amazed. They quickly formed a line to get inflatable animals made. The Ice Cream truck arrived shortly after, and the kids and parents swarmed it.
Next up was a magician who wowed the kids with his tricks, while they enjoyed their lunch. Rysky then led the gift ceremony, where we distributed over 150 bags of stationery sponsored by Manitou South Africa and PEP South Africa.
It was a morning well spent, doing good for others who may never experience the true joy of Christmas. We thank all the tables and sponsors who contributed to making this day amazing. As Henry Ward Beecher once said, “In this world it is not what we take up, but what we give up, that makes us rich.”
Yours in Tabling,
