Last Saturday (28th March 2015) we hosted our first packing day for 2015! We (myself and approx. 20 AMAZING volunteers) managed to pack 500 packs. This packing day was bigger and better than any other packing day we had ever hosted due to our volunteers and sponsors, who blessed us with so many awesome goodies for our packs. A special thank you goes out to the following sponsors:
- Toshiba Parkmore – printed our breastfeeding and developmental pamphlets
- Bennets – monthly donation of wet wipes, aqueous cream and bum cream
- Naartjie – 50 blankets
- Linus and Lulu – knitted baby boots and baby beanies
- Johnson’s Baby – baby soap and petroleum jelly
- Validus medical – allowing us to purchase nappies at short notice
- Simone from Different.org – photos
Thank you also to every single volunteer who helped pack on the day, your time and willing hands do not go unnoticed. Thank you also to my dear Damien who is ALWAYS willing to allow us to use his factory and who donated the plastic bags to us.
