Help ELRU (Early Learning Resource Unit) by donating mats and floor rugs for young children to sit on
Here's a little more info about this opportunity...
We urgently need mats small enough to fit into a small-ish room (approximately 1 x 1.2m in size) and big enough for a group of 3 to 5-year-old children to sit on during story time or play time. Cold and hard floor surfaces are horribly uncomfortable, and make concentration all the more difficult but this is unfortunately the situation for many of our Playgroups. A thin blanket doesn't provide much of a barrier from the icy floor surface and especially during the cold winter months. Our Playgroup Programme empowers caregivers and communities to extend quality Early Childhood Development (ECD) programmes to vulnerable children age 3–5 years. For a full wish list of goods we need, or if looking for a great cause, please email carolyn@elru.co.za. This collection of goods is ongoing.
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.
