A group of women took scraps of sample fabric and a bag of zippers and turned them into 330 beautifully handmade pencil bags; showing that sometimes all you need is a bit of time and love to give back to others.
Johannesburg, South Africa (08 February 2024) – Kindness Like Confetti Johannesburg ran their annual stationery drive to help children heading to school have all the things they need for the start of the first term. A group of ladies donated handmade pencil bags, perfect for all the goodies.
A group called ‘Kindness like Confetti’ (KLC), based in Linden, Gauteng, spreads kindness far and wide! KLC is a registered non-profit organisation with six main projects – collecting and distributing sanitary products, a feeding scheme, a knitting project called The Joseph Jersey Project, a dignity bag project to support victims of rape, trauma and abuse, Project Uplift, collecting new and gently used bras for women and an animal welfare support project. There are four additional KLC branches including Cape Town, Gqberha, Knysna and Pretoria.
This year, they helped 330 children in Gauteng with school stationery and beautiful pencil bags. Tshepisong Primary School’s grade 3 and 4 classes were overjoyed by the donation received.
