Leave A Bag Behind Project |
|
When packing for your safari, spare a thought of extra clothing to be left
behind at some of the remote villages that you might visit. Or
alternatively you can leave your contribution behind and a representative of
the ACE African Bag Project will collect it and distribute it to the local
villages that we support.
Inspire the
imagination of a developing mind by bringing a book or magazine along for
enquiring minds, exposing another world and stimulating an interest. A set
of pens, pencils and crayons are most needed. |
Africa is Crazy about
Football!
All across Africa you see kids
in the streets and on makeshift soccer fields kicking all sorts of things that
look vaguely like soccer balls (coconuts, bundles of clothes, tin cans…). There
is a great charity drive called Footballs for Fun who has identified this
love of the game and whose aim is to get actual footballs to kids in Africa.
Their motto is “A gift from the world of tourism to the children of Africa”. I
think it’s a lovely project and well worth supporting.
You can
buy balls in country
flag colors to give and bring with them to destinations within Africa. They
are deflated and therefore very easily packed (and come with a pump and valve).
And if you like, your logo can
be printed on the balls to make it a really personal involvement for your
company. Read more....
Should you suddenly find yourself having "shopped till you dropped" and do not
have sufficient space left in your suitcase - feel free to leave whatever you do
not need in a bag or suitcase and it will be collected and distributed to very
grateful less fortunate people.

With so many charity programs run by large companies with CEO's, administration
employees and supervisors, stuck in endless meetings to discuss having more
meeting and more committees, it is often questionable how much of donations ever
reach the intended recipients. We prefer a more hands on approach with
direct contact at villages or schools. We believe the need is now -
immediate action is required. We prefer to make a contribution to ease the
need that is required today. Whether it is a much needed pair of sneakers,
sweater, coat, jacket or just a hug - we like to make a difference today.
This is an informal project and is
on a case by case basis. Gratitude runs deep in Africa and any
contribution is appreciated. |
