Dear Community,
I am sharing these images with the post, and I know it might upset some of you. As the principal of Luluki, I feel that it is my duty to reach out to our wonderful community. You have helped many of the charities Luluki supports in the past, and this is something very close to our homes. Please feel free to share this post with community groups.
As we enter the season of giving, we would like to extend an invitation to anyone who feels moved to do so:
If you have any old clothes or toys in good condition, or if you would like to buy a small gift or donate some yummy snacks, we welcome your donations.
These items will be handed out to children on the streets in the Randpark Ridge and surrounding areas on Friday, 12 December 2025.
While we know that we cannot change their circumstances, we can brighten their day with a small gesture of kindness. Our country hasn’t done much about the fact that these women use their own and other people’s children to beg. We hope that greater action will be taken in the future, but for now, this is something we can do.
This is something very close to my heart. I always keep snacks, clothes, and toys in my car, and whenever I see children in need, I stop to offer them something special. If you ever find your little one’s toys or clothes piling up, please consider doing the same. Even the smallest act of kindness can create an impact far greater than we realise. This way allows the child access to basic needs, without supporting the person using the child to beg. We do not wish to enable the movement, but rather, help the little ones who fall victim to these unfortunate circumstances.
Thank you for helping us spread a little warmth and joy this festive season. đź’›
Donations can be dropped off at reception.
Warm regards,
Principal Shemoné
