HOPE Cape Town Toy Library gets another donation

HOPE Cape Town recently brought joy to the children of Blikkiesdorp in Delft with a donation of more toys for the HOPE Cape Town Toy Library that was established at Blikkiesdorp Crèche in August last year.

 

According to HOPE Cape Town Donor Relations Manager, “As part of our outreach initiative we had secured R200 000 worth of toys with the support of a donor. Our plan was to distribute many of these toys to children in the various communities that we serve which we did last year. We had also committed to establishing toy libraries in various impoverished communities allowing children to access toys that they would otherwise never be able to afford. Our main objective is to bring joy to these children but there is also an underlying component of learning through play.” Docrat continued, “We can now report that we have successfully established various toy libraries and recently we made an additional donation of toys to the Blikkiesdorp Crèche. Seeing the children’s faces was fantastic. We also handed over some toys to babies that are under our care at Tygerberg Hospital. We will be distributing more toys and establishing more toy libraries in the coming months.”
