IN a world where the common mentality is “every man for himself and God for us all,” Thankfulbird Foundation Trust has challenged this perspective by demonstrating that humans can care for others as much as they care for themselves.
The Thankfulbird Foundation Trust is set to host a fundraising concert on 7 December 2024, at Jahunda Primary School to benefit Gwanda Old People’s Home.
Running under the theme “Give a Little. Change a Lot,” the trust desires to fundraise money and groceries that can last the residents of Gwanda Old People’s Home at least half a year.
The concert has been held annually since 2014 to fundraise for the elderly people at Gwanda Old People’s Home.
Founder of the Trust, Tatenda Nyoni, said the motivating factor behind this fundraising concert was to start a movement to help the less privileged in society.
The activities set to take place include performances from various artists and a slot for receiving donations.
Artists such as the famous Zhezhingtons, Hybrid Psalms, and many more are set to perform.
Nyoni said the main challenge they faced while preparing for this concert was a lack of funds to cater for the programme.
“The message I would give to the Zimbabwean community about giving to the vulnerable in the community is that it does not need a million for you to be a giver because it’s not about the quantity of the gift but it’s about the quality of the heart of the giver,” he said.
He adds: “The less privileged really need our help. Let’s join hands in the philanthropic sector.
“We plan to make this event a big one by bringing in big artists to the concert as it will definitely mean we can have more people attending, hence many donations.”
