Stanford Rotary Blankets Drive 2024
As winter gets closer, it's time to reach out and keep our community warm.
February was all about the schools and students. At the start of each school year we assist not only children who may need items of school clothing, but also stationery to our local schools. Lists are obtained from each of the schools and we do what we can to accommodate their needs.
First item on the agenda this year was a need for school shoes, especially for the children in the higher primary school grades.
Thank to some kind and generous sponsors we were able to purchase 21 pairs of shoes for children in need, bringing smiles, confidence and a willingness to attend school.
Thank you to all who answered our plea for shoes.
Stationery items were delivered to 5 schools in and around Stanford.
Children in less privileged homes do not have the luxury of rechargeable lights by which to do their homework or study for exams, which makes this story even more special to us. Sometimes a simple conversation or question can lead to great things. Such a question was asked and before we knew it we had been gifted 60 solar rechargeable lights for the Grade 7’s at Die Bron Primary.
A huge thank you to that very generous sponsor! The children were absolutely delighted with their lights.

We appreciate the ongoing support from our community and look forward to continued collaboration for the betterment of Stanford.
As one year ends and we usher in the next, it is generally a time for reflection.
Here we are in July already! The winter cold certainly arrived early in an extremely wet way.
This year will see the 13th annual Penguin Plunge in Stanford!
