POSITIVE TUESDAY: LET’S CHANGE THE GAME FOR TERM 3! 🇿🇦

✨Our message for the new term is short and powerful: EVEN IF YOU FAILED TERM 2, DO NOT DROP OUT! 🛑📚 Report cards don't define you. Failure is just a lesson. If you drop out, you step right into the traps of the street corners.

We are fighting an active war against alcohol, ma*****na, and TIK. Tik is a toxic trap designed to steal your mind, strip your youth, and leave our communities in absolute fear.

Break the fear! Choose a clear mind and trust your natural brain power! 🧠💡🔥

🔥 TERM 3 OPERATIONAL ROLLOUT:

📢 Starting next week, we are visiting morning assemblies at all schools in Ward 5 & 6 to deliver high-impact motivational talks!

💼 We will also be running our physical gate sales, providing premium Stationery Toolkits (Pens R3, Duos R5, Trios R10, Deluxe Kits R20) to arm every learner!

👔 OUR SCHOOL UNIFORM DRIVE IS LIVE:
We are officially collecting fairly new, second-hand school uniforms. No child must stay away from school due to a worn-out uniform. We collect clean shirts, trousers, skirts, jerseys, and shoes to distribute directly to vulnerable learners.

To support our active campaigns:

👔 Uniform Drive: DM this page right now to arrange clean second-hand uniform and shoe drop-offs!
🍎 Holiday Wrap-Up: Stationery, snacks, fruit, and winter warmers (Milo/soup) for our ongoing daily library workshops.
🚲 "Rural Wheels" Campaign: Mapped at 120+ active activations. Sponsoring transport fares (R80 return per child) to bring rural minds safely to the town library on Fridays. A minimum donation of just R10 creates an immediate bridge.

👉 HOW TO HELP: Search for our live campaign "Rural Wheels: Connecting Learners to Literacy" on the BackaBuddy website to fund a return fare today, or DM this page directly to donate resources!

POSITIVE TUESDAY: LET’S CHANGE THE GAME! 🇿🇦✨

Happy Tuesday afternoon, Cala! As schools close for Term 2 this Friday, Lusanda Creations is stepping up to protect our youth during the winter holidays.

While school gates close, the library remains open! Our Ndondo Square Afterschool Workshop learners kick off their official holiday program on Monday, 29 June 2026.

To keep our youth united, we want our rural learners from Ward 6 to join us every single Friday. We are fighting an active war against alcohol, ma*****na, and tik—trust your natural brain power! 🧠💡

We are incredibly proud to announce that we now have 145+ active library card holders (120 Rural and 25 Urban). We could not have achieved this milestone without the incredible community support from Build it Cala, Shelli, FreshStop Vukani Community Radio and Shoes Tuck Shop!

To scale our winter safety shield, we urgently need your support for our active campaigns:

🍎 Holiday Programs: Donations of stationery, bread, healthy sandwiches, snacks, biscuits, fruit, and ingredients to keep our kids warm at the library (like hot chocolate, milo, soup, sugar, flour, salt and tea).

🚲 "Rural Wheels" Drive: Sponsoring public transport fares at R80 return per child to bring rural minds safely to town on Fridays. (Our active list has officially surged from 87 to 120 rural learners!)

🏛️ Upcoming Horizons: Supporting our September Heritage Month Run to the Cala Bridge and our "Anti-Pens Down" youth sanctuary at the Cala Indoor Sports Centre.

OUR RURAL MISSION IS SURGING! 🚲📚

The demand for our "Drug-Free School Days" workshops is massive for our youth in Ward 6, Ndondo Square, and surrounding villages in Cala! 📈💳

We have officially activated 120+ library cards for rural learners and are working tirelessly to secure bicycles and transport fares through our active BackaBuddy Campaign ("Rural Wheels").

But to handle this growth and unlock major corporate funding, our founder can no longer run this alone.

WE URGENTLY NEED 3 VOLUNTARY BOARD MEMBERS (Chairperson, Secretary, Treasurer) TO MAKE LUSANDA CREATIONS OFFICIAL.
📌 We need local leaders:
• Teachers, retired or library staff 🏛️
• Retail or business professionals 🏪
• Anyone passionate about fighting drugs and teaching digital skills!

Note: This is a voluntary governance role. It won't cost you money or take up your working hours—we need your trusted name and ID on paper to register as a formal Non-Profit Company (NPC). 🙏

JUNE 16 CLOSING: CHANGE THE GAME THROUGH MOBILITY! ✨

Our "Drug-Free School Days" mission is fighting a real war against alcohol, ma*****na, and tik. Drugs do not make you smarter—trust your natural brain power! 🧠💡

To keep our Urban Learners safe, we run high-impact Daily Afterschool Workshops to rescue them from the street traps of Ndondo Square.

But our Rural Learners in Ward 6 are completely locked out by distance. We want our rural youth to join us every week by making Fridays our official Rural Library Days.

To solve this, we have officially launched our BackaBuddy Crowdfunding Campaign: "Rural Wheels: Connecting 87 Learners to Literacy" (Active: 08 May – 11 Dec 2026).

🚲💨Our current BackaBuddy Campaign targets 87 learners, but our active list has surged to 120+ ongoing learner activations.
We need urgent help to secure bicycles, mobility, or fund local transport fares. It costs a minimum of R40 single or R80 return to bring one child from Ward 6 villages to the town library hub.
