Londoloza distributes toys following second successful sweet/ toy swap
Londoloza Protection Group held their second annual Santa Toy/ Sweet Swap on 9 December, where they traded small buckets of sweets with every person who contributed toys to their drive.
Londoloza’s Santa Toy/ Sweet Swap drive was aimed at swapping sweets for someone’s old toys, in an effort to donate toys to children in need.
The toy-run itself was a major success, with Londoloza stopping at five venues to swap their sweets for someone’s old toys, raking in approximately 2 500 toys, according to Londoloza’s marketing and events coordinator, Tana Cope.
“With great excitement and joy, we are now able to distribute almost 2500 toys to underprivileged children, homes and NPOs. The toys are going to St Laurence Children’s Haven, Lighthouse Children’s Home, Charity Begins With Me, and a number of informal settlements near the areas we collected from,” said Tana.
The handover on Wednesday, 13 December was an immense success, with the children beaming from ear-to-ear at the sight of new toys to play with.
