National Wear your ​Pyjamas ​to work ​Day

PJ Day BFM

We've all gone Pyjamas

At Barefruit Marketing​ we're all about embracing important National Days. Important and serious days, like ​International ​National Women's Day, Father's Day... and who could forget the best day of all, National Wear your ​Pyjamas ​to work ​Day.

​But we're sensible adults who would never drop their kids at school in our pyjamas​​. Wait, what? Claire did? Okay... We're sensible adults who would never forget to drop our kids at school... and ​we all wore our pyjamas to the office today​ because we are all game for a laugh.

Blues, yellows, shorts, t-shirts, polka dot​s,​ penguins​ and Wonder Woman adorned our business-bodies today as we worked to the (slightly hypnotic) lullaby-remixes of classic ​Disney tunes. We also started the day with a session of laughing yoga - you should try it, it's hilarious, and helps if one of the team has an infectious laugh (Sara).​

But it wasn't all for fun and laughing-yoga - there was a serious side to our shenanigans today. As a proud corporate sponsor, and several personal sponsors, our team is ​committed to supporting Rafiki Mwema - a charity run from our office that provides safe houses and therapeutic care​ for traumatised and sexually abused young children. ​All ​our ​pyjama participants donated $5 to the charity today. $5 in Kenya can go a long way, for instance it can buy 3 meals a day for one of our ​children for a week, or transport 3 of our children home for supervised visits with their family.

Rafiki Mwema ​urgently need funds to continue the life-saving work they do with these children - if you can go without your latte for a day, please consider donating it to Rafiki Mwema here, and make a difference - it is tax deductible too. When you donate please put 'Barefruit' in the notes - and we'll donate another dollar!
