From handmade bunnies to grocery hampers (and many Easter Eggs in between) the Kingsmead College community and volunteers spent the recent holidays with kindness; supporting a myriad of organisations.

 

Johannesburg, South Africa (23 April 2025) — The recent Easter holidays were a time spent charitably for Kingsmead College volunteers and their larger community as people knitted, collected, and prepared all sorts of helpful and wholesome goodies for people in need.

The school’s ‘Share What You Can’ campaign united the its community in kindness and donated non-perishable food items. These were bundled and packed into grocery hampers; delivered all over Johannesburg to the school’s partner organisations.

In more creative pursuits, senior learners had been hard at work in creating handmade bunnies from knitted squares. These were then fitted with Easter eggs, and they went on to give several charities a little extra love over Easter festivities, including the Maletsatsi Foundation, CHOC, Kids Haven, and One Small Act of Kindness.

Children in the Neuropediatric ward at Charlotte Maxeke Hospital were also on the Kingsmead Easter bunny’s pit-stop list.

And, from the school’s Service@Home initiative—toiletry and stationary packs were also organised and delivered!

“Special thanks to Ms Wilkinson, Ms N, volunteers from Germany and the UK, and our students for volunteering and ensuring that we were able to distribute these much-needed items for Easter,” the school praised.

Thanks to everyone involved, Easter was made a little sweeter, warmer and kinder for many people in Jozi.
