๐๐ 25 CARS, ONE BEAUTIFUL IDEA & YOUNG PEOPLE SUPPORTING YOUNG PEOPLE ๐๐
Sometimes the simplest ideas can make a really meaningful difference.
Rene, ELAM Youth Worker, recently heard about Thomas, a 10-year-old boy with a very special idea. Thomas is collecting toy cars for children at his school who may not have someone to play with at lunchtime, giving them something fun to do and an opportunity to connect with others. โค๏ธ
Rene shared Thomasโs idea with some girls from our ELAM Girls Group , and the girls group immediately wanted to get behind him.
Using money they had worked hard to raise through their own Girls Group fundraising, the girls purchased 25 toy cars and donated them to Thomas to help grow his collection. ๐๐๐ป
Thomas is continuing to collect cars so that more children can enjoy them during lunchtime โ and hopefully, through something as simple as playing together, new friendships might grow too.
This is exactly what we want our young people to learn through programs like Girls Group โ kindness, empathy, inclusion and looking out for others.
Well Done Thomas ๐๐
