Similarly, we believe that through the collective efforts of our community we can make a significant difference in the lives of young children. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cOur goal is to ensure no child goes hungry and every scholar has the nutrition they need to thrive academically and personally.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Therefore the determined trio with an inherent passion to serve by ploughing back into the community, developed the idea for Stone Soup last February. According to Fourie they funded the start-up costs and embarked on the registration process, which was completed six months later. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>More recently, the NPO was granted its 18 A tax-exemption status, which means exemption certificates can be issued for all donations, providing a tax benefit to generous supporters. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Fourie said all that\u2019s needed now is for the community to open its hearts and pockets to support the cause. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The organisation implores locals to heed the call for assistance by donating items on its wish list, which comprise food items, kitchen equipment, funds and other essentials needed to kick-start their welfare mission.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div contenteditable=\"false\" data-embed24=\"InfoBlock\" data-pos=\"Middle\" id=\"embed_ad56ebd9\">\n<div class=\"heading\">Stone Soup wish list<\/div>\n<div class=\"text\">\n<div id=\"preview_container\">\n<div class=\"contentPreview\">\n<div class=\"doc\" xml_lang=\"en-uk\">\n<div class=\"story\">\n<div class=\"text\" id=\"U102254165297mVF\">\n<div class=\"p\" id=\"U102254165297DIG\"><strong>Food:<\/strong> Ingredients for soup, sandwiches or other meals; and non-perishable foods.<br><strong>Containers:&nbsp;<\/strong>Disposable containers<br><strong>Stationery:<\/strong> Notebooks, pencils, crayons, markers, and art supplies.<br><strong>Books:&nbsp;<\/strong>Picture books, storybooks, and educational books.<br>Educational toys: Puzzles, building blocks, and educational games.<br>Clothing: Seasonal clothing, shoes, and socks.<br><strong>Personal care items:&nbsp;<\/strong>Toothbrushes, toothpaste, soap, and shampoo.<br><strong>Outdoor play:&nbsp;<\/strong>Balls, jump ropes, and other outdoor play equipment.<br><strong>Bedding:&nbsp;<\/strong>Blankets, pillows, and sheets.<br><strong>Financial:&nbsp;<\/strong>Any monetary contribution \u2013 no matter how big or small, every little bit helps. <p><\/p>\n<div id=\"widgets_container\">\n<div class=\"eom_widget ChannelBar\">\n<div class=\"eom_widget_content\">\n<div class=\"channel_controls\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cEvery small contribution, whether it\u2019s a single can of vegetables or a monetary donation, brings us one step closer to achieving our goal.
