Nelson Mandela
Dear Friends of Flying Children
Want to know a good way of doing your 67 minutes for Nelson Mandela’s birthday and, of course, honouring his life this year and for as many years as you want to?
We want to find 1000 people to give just R120 a year (R10 a month! And R2 per minute of the hour you give to Madiba) to Flying Children.
This would amount to 120 000 and is enough for us to help 6 ECD centres to run a good programme and towards getting registration with the government and with that some measure of financial security – so that we can move on to help other centres....
BUT we will need your help! We would need you to find others to do this as well – perhaps even up to 5 other people...? That will take care of the extra
7 minutes persuading friends and family to join in…they can see more about us on www.flyingchildren.co.za or Twitter: @Flying_Children or on Facebook: Facebook.com/FlyingChildren
What do you and your friends get?
Mainly a warm fuzzy feeling that you have really helped to improve a child’s childhood immeasurably– but also we will send you a yearly report with lots of photo’s letting you know how we have put your money to use. And of course you become a life time friend of Flying Children...and you can request our financial reports as well...
How can you and they get the money to us?
Choose your month (maybe somewhere between April and July for Madiba’s birthday?) and then every year during that month arrange to get the money to us…and remind those who you have persuaded to do this for us as well…
1. By EFT: once a year (or by debit order) pay R120 into
Flying Children
Nedbank, Rosebank
Acc no: 1017771731
Branch code: 19770500
International donations: National Swift code: NEDSZAJJ and the Account number and Branch code above.
Then kindly let us know that you have done this with an email so that we can thank you and put you onto our friends list and so that we can send you the yearly reports. lindyharris@mweb.co.za
2. By post:
Flying Children Mandela 67 minutes
65 Greenside Rd
Greenside
2193
Please include your address so that we can send you a yearly report.
3. By hand:
If you need to get someone to fetch it from you then let us know (082 905 5881 – please leave SMS if possible rather than a verbal message as cell/ mobile contact sketchy in the West Rand) and we would arrange for that.
Please include your address so that we can send you a yearly report.
We would be so grateful if you could help us with this – it would mean so much to so many little people. After all 6 centres a year over 10 years = 60 centres and some 1 000’s of children passing through them during that time and for many years afterwards too.
And just in case you think we are thinking too big...
'There is no passion to be found playing small in settling for a life that is less than the one you are capable of living' – Nelson Mandela
Pinning all our hopes on you!
With many thanks for all you have done for us already!
The Flying Children team (Flapping hard all the time to get all our many children airborne!)
