THE WISH LIST was an additional initiative we undertook to give the heroes something truly special. Below is a detailed summary of what we gave them and who supported us.
We would also like to acknowledge the Sponsors of the Workshop, The Open Day/Parade, and Exhibition here.
SESL – SECURITY ESCORTS SYSTEMS LIMITED
MARKETING AND DISTRIBUTION
SUNSHINE SNACKS
MICON MARKETING
NESTLE – for their demonstration on recycling tetra packs
The Heroes received certificates and art materials on the last day of their workshop. For the OPEN DAY we wanted to give them something really special that was personalized in some way. Over the course of this intense workshop we really got to know and care for these heroes and thinking of interesting gifts to give them alongside their trophies was quite easy.
We must thank the individuals and companies that donated towards this wish list as they are the ones who made this possible. We also thank the employees of the Neal and Massy Group for donating towards this day. Their donations helped towards invisible costs like security and portable toilet facilities.
