BOAT TOY DROP - 2025<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u00a0(16th Dec 2025)<\/p>\n

The very first-ever - 2025 Boat Toy Drop on the Vaal River was a heartwarming success - \u00a0bringing smiles, hope, and Christmas joy to hundreds of deserving children.<\/p>\n

So many toys were dropped off by boat - at numerous venues on the banks of the Vaal River, which would later be distributed by the local Vanderbijlpark Rotary Club.<\/p>\n

A special thank you to \u00a0- the People of South Africa Foundation, for your generosity in donating hundreds of toys, and to the Rotary Club of Vanderbijlpark for ensuring all these toys reached the local children most in need.<\/p>\n

Adding even more magic to the day, Father Christmas arrived to personally hand out gifts just before Christmas - creating unforgettable memories for many children who otherwise may not have received a present at all.<\/p>\n

Special thanks to Rotarian Jackie Van Waveren for passionately coordinating this meaningful initiative.<\/p>\n

We now look forward to an even bigger 2026 Vaal River Boat Toy Drop on Wednesday, 16 December - with the hope of bringing Christmas joy to even more disadvantaged children in our community.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>
