Here's a little more info about this opportunity...
We need good old-fashioned toys that develop little fingers, problem-solving, early learning and promote curiosity. Our 600-odd Educare Centres are extremely under-resourced. If you have any of the following, please get in touch with us! • Construction toys (eg. Lego) • Building toys • Blocks to balance • Dominoes • Threading beads • Lacing games and shapes • Big-piece puzzles • Lightweight balls for learning to catch • Beanbags • Assemblage snowflakes • Dolls (of colour) • Crayons (fat and thin) • Peg toys (to develop small fingers) • Hardcover/board books (English, Afrikaans, Xhosa) • Picture books • Games that teach opposites, shapes and colours • Games that develop little hands and brains For a full wish list of goods we need or if looking for a great cause to support, please email carolyn@elru.co.za.
Helpful tips
Stay safe
- 1. Don’t pass any personal information to people you haven’t met offline before.
- 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.
- 4. Know where you’re going. If you’re headed off the beaten track or into an unfamiliar part of town, be sure you have directions and a GPS or map book.
- 5. If you feel unsafe, consult the person in charge and let him or her know.
- 6. Avoid wearing expensive jewellery: it could get damaged, lost or stolen.
- 7. Ask, ask, ask! If you’re worried about something or concerned about your safety in a certain situation, ask the person in charge.
