Many times this month area creches and daycares have come to The Barn to collect blankets to distribute. Unfortunately we do not get many photos of the children receiving their blankets.
Here is on such distribution to Dudu Little Angels DayCare.
Good morning madam.
I'd like to take this opportunity to pass my sencere gratitude on what you did for me and the kids. On behalf of the parents and kids, we like to send our thousand thanks to you and your partners. The kids and parents are very happy, we are so grateful.
