Thank you Papillon…

“We would hereby like to express our gratitude and appreciation to The Papillon Foundation for the generous donation that enables us to reach out to underprivileged girls in our local community. We have started a project to reach and mentor young school girls from the area. The program is called “Intervention through Mentorship“. The areas from which the girls come, do not have a lot of positive mentors. As a team we have taken it upon ourselves to become the change in the lives of these girls. Through our intervention thus far, starting from June 2023, 84 grades 6 and 7 girls have benefitted from the program. We have partnered with 2 schools in motivating the girls in becoming better citizens, and eradicating poverty in their community by staying in school and working hard. We were able to give them coffee and sandwiches and talked to them about good life choices. We feel it is very important to instil good principles in these girls. Your partnership and generous monetary donation have enabled us to reach these girls and make the events a success. Without your financial support this would not have been possible. Thank you from our hearts. God bless you and continue to be a light in this world” (community leader).

“We are humbled and blessed to receive your generous donation for our feeding programme. 700 children visit our programme every week and all receive a meal, thanks to your contribution. Our children come from very challenging backgrounds, and for some of the children it is the only meal they receive that day. The impact of a healthy meal on a child’s wellbeing does not need further explanation, and we feel privileged to be able to impact these young ones on your behalf. Thank you on behalf of the children and the entire team” (CEO of a local NPO).

“We would like to thank you for your donations in kind and financial. We really appreciate your support and kindness, and for the grocery parcels, Easter eggs and gifts for Christmas for the staff. Thank you once again and it is people like you making our work at the centre so worthwhile” (CEO and Founder of a local NPO).

“We would like to say thank you for the generous gifts for Mandela Day. We really appreciated it and enjoyed it. Thank you for your interest in our school” (local primary school Principal).

“On behalf of the children and staff, I would like to thank you very much for the very kind donation that Papillon made to the staff and children of the home. The gift vouchers are going to assist with groceries, toiletries and cleaning material for the home. We will be spoiling those staff working and the children with the delicious chocolates and biscuits on Christmas and New Year’s day” (Children’s Home CEO).

“Thank you so very much for thinking of us and blessing us with these wonderful gifts. Know you are part of us!” (Manager for a local NPO caring for special needs children).

“The gift vouchers are going to assist us greatly with the purchase of baby nappies for the smaller children. The Easter Eggs are going to be a big spoil for the children and the staff alike. The children are going to really enjoy the Eggs over the Easter weekend. Thank you very much” (Home Mother for local NPO for children and youth).

“Thank you for your donations in kind and financial. We really appreciate your support and kindness to our Centre. We appreciate the regular grocery parcels, sweets and gifts for Christmas for the staff. Thank you once again and it is people like you making our work at the centre so worthwhile” (Founder and Fundraiser local NPO for abused women and young adult girls).

“It is really heart-warming when the staff are thought of and receive a thank you from “outside”. They are the ladies that keep the wheels turning and provide all the love and care. This they do each and every day because they have a passion for what they do, they love their work, but it is really wonderful to get acknowledgement from outside” (Project Co-ordinator for Youth Centre).
