Help Community Keepers with 67 volunteers for on Mandela Day
Here's a little more info about this opportunity...
On Mandela Day we would love you to use your 67 minutes, remotely, to reach out to vulnerable children and their caregivers (educators and parents). Here are 3 ways that you can get involved: Community Keepers have therapy rooms at schools all across Cape Town and the Winelands. They are safe spaces for vulnerable children to talking to social workers, psychologists and counsellors. During lockdown, they recreated their face-to-face sessions into an activity book format where they speak to children through play, and in their mother tongue. For just R12 you can sponsor one complete set for one learner. If you and a friend each donate R67, together, you can ensure that ELEVEN children receive all 6 books in the series. Right now, vulnerable children need us more than ever, these little booklets will remind them that we care. These books could be that bridge, that lifeline that makes all the difference. https://communitykeepers.org/donate/ If you are not in a position to make a financial donation, please watch this 12 minute video on Resilience, and then share it on your Facebook page. Together we can all make a difference. https://youtu.be/oOzNcA40Txk Or share this workshop on Trauma and practical techniques to use in the classroom with a school or group of Educators . https://youtu.be/Vj0Ece9Owj4 #EveryChildMatters #MentalHealthMatters #67Minutes #MandelaDay2020
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.
