What is the Cabana project?
Let me put it to you like this:
You get up in the morning, look out the window and see the sunrise. You turn to a messy closet, and stare. Thinking to yourself what will I where today. You scratch around and find some clothes you haven't worn in ages and it so so out of fashion that you just want to throw it aways.
Had that experience? Now picture this!
A jong child, old lady, mother, father or a grandfather in East Londen wakes up, thinking where am I going to get food today, where am I going to get something to wear? The mother resorts to prostittution just to give her kid some food, buy clothes, school is not an option to expensive.
All I ask is that if you have any clothes you don't want or blankets, please don't throw it away. Some of these families are up to 10 people living in 1 caravan. We have hosted a free camp for these children in the winter, some have never left East Londen before, and to have seen these childrens' faces light up on the farm and to get their first experience of holding snow in there hand, broke my heart, because I knew I had to let these kids go back to the livestyle noone wants to be in.
We try to show these children that there is more in live than what they experience, and showed then that there is something to fight for. These kids gets into your heart so quick.
Thank you to everybody that has been sending us clothes to give these people. You truly are a blessing.
If you want to be part of this cause and have clothes you want to send me please cantact me:
