The Tomorrow Trust has been chosen as Build-a Bear’s
CSI project so we have been invited to attend the opening
of all the new stores with the children from the Foundation
Phase Holiday Schools Programme. We attended the Clearwater
opening in Roodepoort on Friday the 6th July. Every child
was able to build there own teddy bear and dress it in a
T-shirt and shorts. The children were so excited to be able
to build their own teddy bear and take it home at the end
of the day as most of these children have never owned a teddy
bear before. Build-a-Bear gave the children funpacks containing
sweets and a fruit juice and also supplied a face painter
to keep the children amused. We took the children from Ikageng
Itireleng AIDS Ministry to the Clearwater opening and will
take the children from Hope Worldwide to the opening of the
Sandton Store on the 25th July. The Eastrand Store opening
is scheduled for the 31st August.
