September

For the month of September we actively supported a cause that is in great need of the communities help (The Pangolin) also known as “scaly anteaters”. To give our readers some background information this animal has become an endangered species and up to 100,000 pangolins are estimated to be hunted and sold every year, making them the most traded wild animal in the world, this number is largely growing. They are purely hunted for their meat which is considered a delicacy in China, Vietnam and other parts of south-east Asia, while the scales are prized for traditional medicine.

Local author Sarah Savory has written a fascinating children’s book which delivers a powerful message in raising awareness and inspiring children of all ages and adults to help protect the most-trafficked animal the pangolin. This book serves a great purpose in educating readers and as part of our community we feel we need to spread the message and generate some financial support towards this cause. You can get your hands on one of these remarkable books in store for a mere $20 dollars only.

Our aim at Originals is to do the best we can under trying times and at the very least contribute to worthy causes such as these. We are determined to assist where we know we can give back towards these exploited animals and we kindly welcome anybody wanting to support us in doing so.

With that said Originals has shifted into high gear and we have been busy bringing you the best quality branded clothing. As summer is officially here we have introduced several exciting brands into store. For the ladies you will find a range of quality bikini wear which are fairly priced and affordable. Driftwood sunglasses for those scorching summer days and many more exciting fashion finds in store.

August

At the start of August we opened our doors and our first month at Originals has been phenomenal! We would like to thank all of our valued customers for giving us such generous financial support and creating some much needed hype about Originals. We will continue to strive and keep up our finest quality and bring you the best of what we can. We welcome everyone into our store and have made sure there is a little something for everyone.

With some interesting news we would like to inform you all that we will be continually supporting some of Zimbabwe’s local animal welfare projects. We want to encourage and inspire our people to come together for such worthy causes so close to our hearts to ensure we all can make a difference. With that said we will be offering free ongoing gift wrapping for our customers in turn for any donation for nonprofit organizations. For each month we will be rotating donation tins so that each organization we are involved in supporting can get a fair chance of contributions.

For the month of August we have been involved in sponsoring “Friends of Kyle” with the setup of a website that will aid them with their ongoing projects as well as informing the community. Friends of Kyle is a non-profit organization which involves the community and school children who cooperate on all levels to help advocate and assist in the upkeep of our conservation.

Conservationists are assisted with anti-poaching equipment, camping equipment, protective clothing and patrol rations. Friends of Kyle also require moral support, education training in conjunction with improving the parks infrastructure, transport and the general welfare of conservationists.

We most welcome any person who can help assist in any of these areas mentioned above and are most thankful for any involvement or contribution made towards Friends of Kyle.
