Honeybunny happy news

This little bit of happiness flickered off 19h00 news last night. So I thought "what a jolly thing to get involved in". 

Mary Honeybun is a duckie from Noordhoek, Cape Town,  who founded & organizes the charity  'Bread Tags for Wheelchairs'.

It's a project through which people collect those pesky plastic tags found on top bread bags, to raise funds for this charity project. Dosh from the recycling goes towards buying wheelchairs for the less fortunate.

 

The amount of bread tags collected for a new wheelchair varies, but we are aiming for 800 000 – 1 million which equates to the value of a basic wheelchair. That’s 270 kg of breadtags.

Currently Mary Honeybun has joined forces with Polystyrene Packaging Council of SA, an NPO.

To Date Ms. Honeybun has helped sponsor 29 wheelchairs. Not even several new hips can stop this lady it seems

So if you'd like to help folks become mobile and gain their independence here is what YOU can do: 

• Collect bread tags from family, friends, colleagues and neighbours

• If you're in the Noordhoek area you can drop them in one of the collection boxes at Noordhoek Farm Village. 

• You can also post your bread tags to PO Box 215, Noordhoek, 7979 or call her on
