Support project for less-priviliged matric girls
Dresses can also be dropped off at Record's office.
For the past seven years local resident Natalie Swart has been running the Creating Princesses project.
She started the project when she realised that some parents spend as much as R10 000 on a matric farewell dress, while others cannot afford the basics. This causes the girls to feel self-conscious, diminishing their sense of dignity.
Natalie is therefore appealing to young women to donate their matric farewell outfits. She will keep them in a ‘library’, allowing the less fortunate girls to borrow a dress for that special evening.
Anyone wanting to donate evening dresses/ matric farewell dresses/ shoes/ accessories can contact Natalie Swart on 081 823 8587
or drop them off at the Record’s office at the corner of General Pienaar Avenue and Ham Street in Witpoortjie.
