Hi Neighbours!
A big thank you to everyone who has so kindly donated to Blessings For Africa. Our cause is important to us and it's very heartening to know that it is just as important to you too.
If you would like to help, you can, by donating any of the following items:
Bric-a-brac
Good usable clothing/linen
Small furniture
Home Décor
Electronics etc.
The donated goods are sold in New Zealand and the proceeds are used to support those in need in South Africa. Due to Covid, the poverty crises has deepened ever further, so there is a massive need for assistance. At the moment our focus is mainly on children living in poverty and who don't have parents to care for them.
To donate goods, please txt us on 02108484968 and we will be happy to collect. Should you want to donate an amount of money, you can do so by making a payment to the Blessings For Africa account by going to the website and click "Donate" at www.blessingsforafrica.com...
Kind regards,
The team, at Blessing for Africa
Worst Xmas ever?
There's a a lot of planning that goes into Christmas day and sometimes things just don't go to plan. But it can be a good thing - a family mishap or hilarious memory that you can laugh about in Christmases to come.
Whether you burnt the dinner or were stranded at an airport...

⚠️ DOGS DIE IN HOT CARS. If you love them, don't leave them. ⚠️
It's a message we share time and time again, and this year, we're calling on you to help us spread that message further.
Did you know that calls to SPCA about dogs left inside hot cars made up a whopping 11% of all welfare calls last summer? This is a completely preventable issue, and one which is causing hundreds of dogs (often loved pets) to suffer.
Here are some quick facts to share with the dog owners in your life:
👉 The temperature inside a car can heat to over 50°C in less than 15 minutes.
👉 Parking in the shade and cracking windows does little to help on a warm day. Dogs rely on panting to keep cool, which they can't do in a hot car.
👉 This puts dogs at a high risk of heatstroke - a serious condition for dogs, with a mortality rate between 39%-50%.
👉 It is an offence under the Animal Welfare Act to leave a dog in a hot vehicle if they are showing signs of heat stress. You can be fined, and prosecuted.
SPCA has created downloadable resources to help you spread the message even further. Posters, a flyer, and a social media tile can be downloaded from our website here: www.spca.nz...
We encourage you to use these - and ask your local businesses to display the posters if they can. Flyers can be kept in your car and handed out as needed.
This is a community problem, and one we cannot solve alone. Help us to prevent more tragedies this summer by sharing this post.
On behalf of the animals - thank you ❤️
