I'm part of a committee called VC Cares and we do outreach programmes,fundraise for non-profit organisations and throw a mean Easter Party 😀. Yesterday we hosted a group of fun,lively( well the majority) unprivileged children for a Easter Party . The kids were from different places and we decided to give them a change of scenery and bring them to campus.

A disney character themed Easter party seemed fitting for our guests of honour and committee members came dressed as various characters ranging from little red riding hood,fairies,fairy godmother and myself as Mimi Mouse😻 (Yes Mimi Mouse). We hijacked the campus lawn and set up different activities for them. There was face painting,easter egg painting,cookie decorations and soccer for the less creative individuals. Our party attracted a lot of spectators as students gathered around our closed of VIP section  (that being the lawn) and they watched us have loads of fun with the kids. Our guests were cooldrink'd and dined in loads of chocolate,chips,sweets,cookies and well you get the picture . As the party progressed and everyone got familiar with each other,adoption proposals were made with baby Emihle having the most (I even made a proposal,she's so adorable ). The referrals changed from 'the kids' to 'our kids' (yea we got pretty attacted). A special appearance was made by Easter Bunny and although some of our kids were scared of him,the adults (being us) seemed really happy to see him.

The Grand Finale was a Easter egg hunt where our kids and their partners(us) had to go around campus loooking for easter eggs. The staff got involved and were part of the day's festivities by waiting in their designated areas with baskets full of chocolate easter eggs to hand out to our guests. Some staff members made it a bit fun and interactive by teaching us the chicken dance and the words to 'Itsy Bitsy Spider'.

Although we had a fun filled day,it kind of ended on a somber mood when we had to say goodbye. Our little ones were loaded into their transport and we stood by and bid them farewell. I can confidently say that each of the committee members slept with a smile on their faces with the knowledge that we touched the lives of 'our kids',the future leaders.
