Story

Welcome to Hannah And Jenny's Just Giving Page! Thank you for taking the time to come and have a look at what we are doing.

In August 2010 Jennifer Kirkham and Hannah Reilly are going to work with a small rural township project in the Overberg area of the Western Cape, South Africa.  The project is called Net Vir Pret (Just for Fun) and reaches over 500 children and young people who live in that area.  Many go to isolated Farm Schools and their families are seasonal packers and pickers on the farms. There is a high incidence of foetal alcohol syndrome amongst the children and Net Vir Pret uses the creative arts to draw out the playful and creative side of the children and help encourage their development. 

As art students we hope to use and extend our own skills in a very practical way, doing art-based activities with the children. We will be there for around 3 weeks and we will be living in the township community and working every day with Peter Takelo the Youth and Community worker. 

The project needs funds for educational toys, craft resources, additional workers, art materials, a small video camera and other things which can make a difference to these children and young people.

Please note that we are paying all our expenses, so any monery donated will go directly to EDSA and in turn to the children.

Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving – they’ll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they’ll send your money directly to the charity and make sure Gift Aid is reclaimed on every eligible donation by a UK taxpayer. So it’s the most efficient way to donate - I raise more, whilst saving time and cutting costs for the charity.

So please dig deep and donate now!

Thank you,

Hannah & Jenny
