Join the Refugee Welcome Picnic: Megan needs helpers on Wednesday
We're short of hands for the Refugee Welcome Picnic; can you spare a morning?
🇿🇦 Gauteng, South Africa638 views
Every year the Refugee Welcome Picnic brings together 548 neighbors in Soweto. I help organize it with 4 other volunteers, and this year our numbers are down.
We need people for stewarding, first-aid support and clean-up. Shifts are four hours long and you can pick the one that suits you. Food and drinks are provided for all volunteers.
It's a fun day for all ages, and our goal is to keep it free. No experience is necessary - we'll brief everyone at the start of the day.
If you can come with a friend, even better. Please say in the comments which shift works for you.
I hope life is good to you.

So sorry you're going through this, Megan. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double.
Thinking of you. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. My neighbor in Coimbatore donated after I showed her your page. God bless
Hope the build day goes well, wish I lived closer. Put this on a community board in Birmingham this morning. Greetings from Birmingham.
Your post was clear and honest. I went through something like this 5 years ago and strangers helped me out.
Stay strong, Megan. Shared it with a few friends. Thinking of Soweto.
So sorry you're going through this. This could happen to any of us. I went through something like this 3 years ago and strangers helped me out. Greetings from Narayanganj

Hope the build day goes well, wish I lived closer. We're a small family in Warsaw but we're thinking of you. Thinking of Soweto.
Rooting for you, Megan. Hope you get there. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. All the best

Thinking of you and your family. Projects like this are what make a place worth living in. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. Greetings from Los Angeles.
