Help iThemba Projects with 8 volunteers for knitting or crocheting soft balls for babies
Here's a little more info about this opportunity...
Our Early Childhood Development mentors visit about 150 families in Sweetwaters community and help parents learn how to stimulate and play with their young children at home. We need soft balls, knitted or crocheted, preferably with a small bell inside to include in our toy bags the home mentors use on visits. When home mentors visit, they bring a bag of toys from our toy-lending library, and show parents games and ways to play with the toys with their kids. We now have a lot of small babies in the programme, and thought having soft, small, baby balls would really help the parents and children. We need about 50 balls. But if you can do any number that would be great. Balls can be about tennis ball size or even smaller.

- 2. When meeting one of your contacts offline for the first time, always be sure to arrange to meet in a public place.
- 3. Make sure that you are not left alone with someone that you have never met before.
