Print for a Purpose

🎓 Print for a Purpose: Donate 3D Shapes to Help Kids Learn!

Looking to earn 2 verified service hours and make a real difference? Volunteers earn 1 verified hour for every R250 in goods or services contributed.

Volunteer Now invites you to use your 3D printing skills for good! We’re calling on volunteers to print and donate 40 X 3D geometric shapes to early childhood development centres in under-resourced communities.

🧠 These shapes are essential for boosting maths comprehension and spatial awareness in young learners — skills that set the foundation for future learning success.

Here’s how it works:

1. Download the STL files provided. http://volunteernow.co.za/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/pattern-blocks-math-education-model_files.zip
2. Print 40 shapes using any filament (get a special discount from Filament Factory at checkout!). Voucher number PK26XUVG
3. Book your donation drop-off through Volunteer Now.
4. Deliver your shapes and receive 2 verified service hours! (1 hour for each R250)
5. Receive an additional hour for 20 pages of pattern blocks – found on this link https://www.prekinders.com/pattern-blocks/

📚 Your contribution will provide tangible learning tools to children who don’t have access to quality educational resources. It’s a small act with a big impact.

Let’s build brighter futures — one shape at a time.
