MORELETA SPRUIT ENVIRONMENTAL DAY: 20 SEPTEMBER 2008

You can make a difference!



SOAPKidz wants to make a big impact on the environment this year. One of
our biggest projects will be the cleaning of the Moreleta Spruit on 20
September 2008, to transform it into an unsoiled, beautiful, hiking trail
for everyone to enjoy. We can achieve this by working closely with the
different Conservation and other groups, involving kids from various
children's homes in our project. Of course having fun, while doing the
work, will be at the top of our list. (Read more about what we do, at the
end of this document).



Since the preservation of nature is something that lies very dear to the
heart of each and every person involved with SOAPKidz, we are determined
to make this, another great success story for nature as well as the
children involved.



200 teenagers from various children's homes and places of safety will be
invited to participate in the event. They will be divided into 20 teams
for a whole day of work, excitement and interesting talks, starting with a
breakfast at the Faerie Glen Pick 'n Pay and ending at the Pioneer Museum
in Silverton - about a 10 km hike.



Activities will include: Breakfast; Treasure hunt; Crossword puzzles; Tree
planting; De-weeding; Obstacle course; Recycling; and obviously hiking.





VOLUNTEERS NEEDED



The SOAPKidz organisation wants to make caring for our children and
environment a number one priority in our community. In an effort to give
the community an opportunity to participate in this initiative, we are
inviting anyone to become a volunteer for the SOAPKidz.



The job of a volunteer consists of anything from, helping with the food
and drinks, to being assigned to a group of kids for supervision through
activities, to planning or presenting activities. Helping with transport
to and from activities, giving smiles and hugs, planning of events, admin
or helping with PR. What ever you feel you can contribute, we can use, and
you will be welcomed with open arms and hearts.



If you are not already one...what are you waiting for? You are missing out
on a whole lot of fun and "feel good".



For this next event (above), we will need a lot of hands, so please let us
know as soon as possible, if we can count you in.



Sincerely,





The SOAPkidz Team





SOAP KIDZ has reached 7500 people since April 2005 and has picked up more
than 1200 bags of litter. As a non-profit organisation, we aim to create
environmental awareness and promote nature conservation amongst
underprivileged and abused children.



With the help of the various outdoor activity groups - mountaineering,
canoeing, mountain biking, hiking and orienteering clubs, as well as
volunteers who help out with supervision, we teach these children about:
nature, the preservation thereof, self preservation, life, friendship,
first aid, prevention & living with HIV & AIDS, trust, loyalty, courage,
communication, team work, business, marketing & social skills etc.



Every activity incorporates 'ENVIRONMENTAL CLEAN UP PROJECTS' with a prize
for the team who collects the most litter.



The organization relies solely on donations and volunteer work, and
welcomes any body willing to open their hearts and have some fun for a day
or two. Companies are also encouraged to sponsor any event or part
thereof, from transport, fuel, food, to employee volunteers or just good
old cash.
