A promise made to children became a commitment to the community. The recent Build It Kokstad U13 Festival was more than just a day of soccer, netball and community togetherness. It was a day filled with excitement, laughter and unforgettable memories for hundreds of young stars who came together to showcase their talent.
But as the festival came to an end, there was one moment that stayed with the Build It Kokstad team. As the children were leaving, some of them were visibly disappointed because they had not received the toys and kiddies’ treats they had hoped for. While the festival had been a success, Build It Kokstad could not ignore the little faces that were leaving unhappy.
For Build It Kokstad, it was a reminder that sometimes it is the smallest things that mean the most to a child. The team made a promise: “We will come back and bring you something.” And Build It Kokstad meant it.
A Promise Becomes a Mission
Following the festival, Build It Kokstad visited Seven Fountains Primary School to reconnect with the young learners and to keep the promise that had been made. Build It Kokstad also approached Kanga Finance, one of its financing partners, and shared the story of the children who had left the festival disappointed. Kanga Finance immediately showed interest in being part of the initiative and assisting Build It Kokstad in bringing smiles back to the children.
Together, Build It Kokstad and Kanga Finance turned a simple promise into a meaningful community gesture. The children received something to put smiles back on their faces, proving that a promise to a child is a promise worth keeping.
