Holiday out of the home
School holidays have begun, but it won’t be much fun for the boys and girls at St Mary’s Children’s Home …
They spend 365 days a year cooped up at school or the home, and sometimes they just need to get out and feel like normal kids for a while.
That’s why I’m hoping you’ll help send them on an exciting holiday camp from 11 – 18 July.
You could give 22 children the chance to get away – with hiking trails, obstacle courses, nature, wildlife, campfires and games – this holiday camp’s not only a learning experience, but the experience of a lifetime for boys and girls who don’t have much to look forward to.
Please, won’t you give a child the gift of a holiday packed with fun, adventure and good memories?
The kids that are left behind also have a tough time – their school friends get to enjoy all sorts of outings. But your generosity today could make sure they have plenty to do – they’d love some games, books, DVDs, or pocket money for a movie at the local mall …
Your kindness today could even help our boys and girls play outside when it’s cold. Some winter clothes – like a nice scarf and gloves – to ward off the cold would make playing outside a pleasure.
School holidays should be special. Will you help us give the children something to look forward to?
