2019 Seaside Outings
Because Breadline Africa tries to broaden children’s horizons with new experiences, we send hundreds of children under the age of seven to a magical day at the seaside every December. Although many of these children grow up close to the ocean, few see waves breaking on the beach or have the opportunity to build sandcastles. You can help us by volunteering to assist on the day or by donating to our seaside outing initiative. Please contact edna@breadlineafrica.org if you would like to volunteer, donate or know more about the seaside outing initiative.
