People got together to take part in fun walks, events were organised and towns gathered to wrap their streets in pink material with one thing in mind … celebrating life after cancer and the lives of those who lost their battle with cancer.
It is with great excitement that one also notices there is a definite change in the dynamics of the celebrations.
Price Pritchett said “Change always comes bearing gifts.”
The ‘gifts’ were evident in the way communities were reached and lives were touched.
The fact that so many towns got involved in the project means that many more cancer communities will benefit from the project and with greater impact.
It also means that the message of hope is spread to many more communities.
In Springs the representative of Pink Trees for Pauline and another organisation joined forces and started a care group which reaches out to their local cancer community, addressing all the practical needs patients may have.
The message of hope is prevalent everywhere.
Throughout South Africa schools are getting involved with a vigour one can only admire.
Our children, our future.
Pink Trees for Pauline is clearly no longer an initiative, although very visible in the months of September and October, where beautiful ‘pink moments’ are created and everything stops at the end of November.
It is clear that this initiative will continue throughout the year with continuous events of raising funds and bringing awareness and that the message of Pink Trees for Pauline will be lived.
It has evolved into something which is carried in the hearts of all those taking part in it.
To celebrate life and hope, Pink Trees for Pauline Springs planted a tree in their local park at Selcourt Enclosure.
