PHOTOGRAPHS FROM KAS DISTRIBUTIONS 2012 - 2013
Ronda and Wendy have been producing quite a catalogue of photographs from the recent distributions, rather than post them a few at a time, it was decided to create a discussion page where they could be displayed more speedily so that members might be able to spot their squares, garments or hats earlier! Spotting one of our own creations in Africa really does spur as on to even greater creativity!

These posters are wonderful! So colourful and educational and fun at the same time. The children will really love these I know.

More photos of Nancefield from Wendy!
A colour explosion!
He was trying to eat the plastic food! How does this hula hoop thing work!
Colouring station and puzzle station - ready for action!
This adorable little boy would throw the ball and try to kick it - he has obviously watched soccer, but he would inevitably miss and have to run and fin the ball.
How to hula hoop - ahem.........

What a wonderul and heartening collection of photos. I love the little boy who's trying to eat the plastic food. Poor sweetheart. I hope he got some real food inside him.

I cannot get enough looking at the photos! I am SO proud of us!! What a great feeling, to have this direct impact.
I just spent some time showing my parents the photos, as they also donated to the fundraiser....they were thrilled to see what was accomplished. It seems like so much was bought with the amount of money, clearly you all worked very hard to make the money go as far as possible! I am sure you were all exhausted by the time the set-up was done; but what a wonderful job you did and such a huge impact for these children!! Big hugs to you all! XOXOXO

I agree with Mary Anne 100%. What a thrill to see where the dollars went and wowsers, how much was done with so little it seems....talk about stretching a dollar until it squeaked....bravo ladies, these pictures are tremendously encouraging!

The little boy retired to the bike after soccer ? Those bikes are such a hit. I love everything. I looked again at the blocks which have colours and patterns and size and shapes, all sorts for the children to experiment with. I can imagine they can't wait to get to daycare everyday now.

Agree Sue - with so many children absorbed and able to function without constant supervision, the teachers and helpers can provide attention to the 'traumatised' children who may need extra TLC.

Now there is an added bonus I didn't think of, thanks for telling us Pam. What a touching thought, it makes my heart go tender to think that not only do these purchases give the children play and imagination and creativity boosts but love boosts for those little ones that need it the most!

Thanks Jeanne, some of those children need that extra bit of TLC. The little hoodie boy who plays 'lone wolf' on his own with the ball, but watches the other children playing, is one - hopefully they can bring him out and integrate/inter-act with the others.
