In October, our Courage to Care Day Celebration brought together the community at three schools in Burgersdorp, Eastern Cape. This special day was filled with activities and campaigns focused on kindness and support for those in need.
Each of our schools led two inspiring campaigns. The first campaign was a recycling project, collecting bottle tops, bread tags, and bread bags. These items will go to the Sweethearts Foundation, which will recycle them and donate a wheelchair to someone in need.
The second campaign focused on collecting essential toiletry items to support people within the Burgersdorp community. These items will make a real difference to those who need a little extra help.
Thanks to everyone who donated—together, we’re helping someone gain mobility and assisting those in need in the community!
These wonderful schools and group in Burgersdorp took part:
A big thank you to everyone who participated in making these campaigns a success!
One of the school principals shared his appreciation for MOT and its goal of creating a warmer, safer and society and for promoting the Courage to Care and Kindness! His words remind us why we celebrate Courage to Care Day—to celebration care, to bring out the best in each other and build a stronger, more caring community.
Courage to Care Day is all about one of MOT’s key values: the Courage to Care. This value is a reminder that small acts of kindness can make a big difference. By caring for others, we become a light for those who may feel left out or in need of support.
As part of the campaign duration, we also hosted a competition, asking students to create videos explaining what courage means to them. It was inspiring to see young people share their thoughts on bravery and kindness!
The Sweethearts Foundation helps give the gift of mobility by collecting bottle tops and bread tags. They recycle these items to raise funds for wheelchairs, which they donate to those who need them most. Each school and organization can even nominate someone to receive one of these wheelchairs. For more about their work, visit their website.
Thank you to everyone who joined us in celebrating the Courage to Care Day Campaign. Every act of kindness, big or small, can truly make a difference. Let’s keep spreading kindness and building a warmer community for all!
