A day of smiles and sunshine faces amidst the rainy skies.....Today was one of the reasons why Puddy embarked on this historical Journey, to raise funds and awareness for the
SOS Children’s Villages across the country. Now finally, after 52 days he finally managed to roll into one of the SOS Children’s Villages in P.E. Known as the windy city, the friendly city and on this day the rainy city lived up to all three of these titles.
Upon arrival at the village the kids wore smiles bigger than theirHeads whilst singing and cheering like only happy children can. They even made hugebanners in all colours of the rainbow promoting the cause and the tour.
After our welcoming we moved into a hall where Puddy and Human spoke a few words about the tour and what it’s all about and also encouraging these kids to stay motivated considering their situation. The mic was passed to one of the people working at the Village and she quickly prompted the children who burst into song which they had specifically composed for Puddy and the team. By far the most beautiful and hart warming moment we have experienced as a team, reminding us that there are children less fortunate, and its initiatives like the Children’s SOS Villages that help kids like to reach their goals.
SABC news crew popped in again to film the episode giving us some much needed and more national exposure. Hopefully people saw what we are doing here and donate towards the SOS Children’s Villages. Puddy did a few tricks for the admiring crowd and camera who looked on in awe and kept on cheering the roof off the building.
Outside Puddy and the crew spent the afternoon (despite the rain) learning to skate (the Village had provided the kids with boards).We had scrunches Boere wors rols supplied by Shoprite Checkers.
A great amount of thanks to Shoprite Checkers and Marine Protea Hotel who made this day possible and provided us with some great accommodation.
