Luske Aysen, 13, in Grade 7 at Holy Cross Primary School, Bellville is very conscious of the fact that there are many children and families out there that do not have the privileges that she has. “We will have tables and tables of food and presents, but they won’t have,” she said. “So I want to see if I can help out.” Luske said it feels good to help a family put food in their stomach this Christmas. She said that each grade at her school supports Buckets of Love.
Fellow pupil Kaylin Adonis, 14, said that doing her bit to help families that often do not have food, let alone Christmas treats, gives her a “warm feeling”.
Every year, classmate John Bullock, 13, pointed out, Holy Cross pupils perform this special duty of packing buckets, making Christmas worthwhile to the poor. He said it makes him supremely conscious of the fact that there are people worse off than he and that he should help them, something classmate Wilson Boyce, 12, totally agrees with.
Pauline Ford, manager of the Buckets campaign (pictured, below ), thanked the school for their effort.
