The Balalaika Angel Tree returns

11/6/2025 12:00:00 AM - 12/17/2025 12:00:00 AM

For the second year running, the Angel Tree is back at Protea Hotel Balalaika. so that you can do your bit to build a tradition of kindness this Christmas.

This holiday season, Protea Hotel Balalaika is again partnering with the Seeds of Hope school and orphanage in Hillbrow. Their goal is to grow this wonderful initiative and bring joy to even more children.

There are three easy ways you can contribute and make a difference:

1. Grant a Wish: Stop by to pick a tag from the tree, or email [email protected] and they’ll send one to you. Each tag has a specific wish from a child.
2. Donate Essential Items: The Balalaika is collecting bulk donations of new, everyday essentials, such as toiletries, socks, and underwear for the children.
3. Make a Monetary Donation: If you're short on time, you can give a monetary donation, and the hotel team will personally do the shopping to ensure every child's wish is fulfilled.

Beyond the Tag: A Story, A Wish, A Message of Hope.

Let's build a tradition of kindness with Protea Hotel Balalaika and make it a truly special season for the Seeds of Hope kids.

Contribute before 17 December. All gifts will be packages and distributed on 19 December 2025.
