Friends of Carryou makes a difference
Three boys from Tuxedo Park School in the USA contributes to the success of Carryou's reading programme.
Three boys from Tuxedo Park, New York, in the USA, have made it their mission to brighten the lives of less fortunate children in Randfontein.
Brothers Caio and Luca Rodolfo and their friend, Theo Coughlin, decided to sell their childhood books and donate the proceeds so they could be used to buy books for children at the Toekomsrus Drop-in Centre.
They teamed up with Sara Cassis, owner of Ruffikins Muffins and shared a stall at a recent Tuxedo Park Farmers’ market.
Sara generously agreed to donate 15 per cent of her profits on that day to the “Books for Kids” programme.
The day proved to be a rip-roaring success and 500 US Dollars (approximately R5 000) was raised.
Books were bought with the money and the children at the Toekomsrus Drop-in Centre is having a blast reading these books.
“We are deeply moved and grateful for the efforts of these fine young men. They will enrich the lives of many,” says Carryou Ministry General Manager, Reverend Lawrence Mbaso.
