"Love in a Box" at St. Placid, Mopane
Posted by Graham Burt
Rotarians Sandra Stonehill, Barbara Butchart, Itamar Azoulay and Graham Burt travelled 25 kms to Mopane on the outskirts of Gaborone to complete the "Love in a Box" programme for 2009 - 2010.
The children are members of the Holly Cross Day Care Centre which is run by Sister Bonolo at St. Placid Church. They were extremely well behaved and even managed to control their exuberance when they were allowed to open their boxes. However, their joy and excitement was written all over their faces except for one little boy. We nicknamed him "Mr Cool" because he had put on a pair of sunglasses that were from his box. He seemed to be totally overawed by the proceedings.
