At Sue Berk Designs, we feel blessed...so it gives us great joy to give back to those who need it most. We are so excited to tell you about our latest Giving Back project! Six months ago we heard about an organization in South Africa (where Sue was born and raised) called Dansazania. Led by Cinda Eatock, a seasoned dance teacher, Dansazania runs dance classes for the poorest of the poor in South Africa. These are children who are orphans living in child-headed households. The AIDS epidemic in Africa has left so many children without parents. Cinda teaches dance to so-called "privileged" kids as well. What is unique and wonderful about her classes is that she allows any children to join--regardless of their ability to pay. So her classes are full of ALL children...
We collected and donated hundreds of leotards (including SBD Sportwear items), ballet shoes, tights, tutus and other dance items along with several other organizations. Here is a photo of some of these precious girls in our SBD Sportswear leotards. It truly made our hearts dance with joy!
