We believe in 'working forward', 'living forward' and 'dancing forward'. Giving away a little of what we've earned through our hard work is also a very satisfying experience. Childcare WorldWide has given us this opportunity and we encourage our clients to teach their students about this project. We hope that everyone who wears our costumes will be inspired to become involved.
As a native South African I grew up seeing many destitute people. There were many days that we had to help feed hungry people on the street. Now I like to teach my two boys to be compassionate and generous towards others that need their help.
Just as a dancer performs with passion and a giving spirit, we strive to live our lives the same way. The audience receives a precious gift from each performance and this translates into life where we can give of ourselves to others.
In this effort I would like to extend to each studio and teacher the challenge to engage their students in the "fight against world hunger" project. At Ferreira we would love all the beautiful dancers to link hands and to support this movement.
This year I would like to send a "Dance Forward" T-shirt to each student that donates $25 or more to Child Care Worldwide. This will help feed a family for three weeks.
ABOUT CHILDCARE WORLDWIDE
Our favorite charity travels throughout the world and helps set up medical, food and work stations for children of all cultures and ages. Childcare Worldwide president, Max Lange, hand writes us personal postcards from countries around the globe and recalls the experiences he has with the people he meets and the children they help. We enjoy being able to help make their work a little easier and also hopefully enrich a child's life in the process. We believe that as parents we cannot stand by and watch thousands of children die of hunger each day or suffer from neglect. Please join us in teaching our students about world hunger and join us in our movement to Dance Forward! Live the life! Change a Life! Childcare Worldwide is one of the world's most efficient charities; 97cents of every dollar raised provides direct benefits to the children of the world.
YOU CAN CONTRIBUTE 2 WAYS
1. Order your costumes from Ferreira Costume Catalog. Each year, we donate a percentage of our gross sales to Childcare Worldwide.
