MaiRai Circle was inspired by two wonderful children; my first god child "Maimai" and my first child "Rairai". It started small with friends and family, then expanded to include persons referred to this circle by members vouching for their good character. Like waves radiating from a rock thrown into water, it is time to go on to the next level. The first level was friends and family, the second was referrals from them plus children at the Wee Care Developmental Centre, and now the third; restricted semi-private.
This clothing sharing circle was started for a number of reasons, but the main one is that people need to help each other more. This is not charity; it is a hand-up, not a hand-out. This is a sharing circle where you have responsibilities that are expected of you. It is ecologically friendly to the planet by re-using everything until completely worn out. It is financially friendly, freeing up money to use for extras like swimming lessons, or basics like fresh foods. It is even mentally friendly, not having to worry about how to get the next size up, or how to get rid of the size they've outgrown.
This circle is currently being used full time by ten children, and part time by up to six.
This circle is for children from birth until they start school at 4-5 years old.
MaiRai Circle is in Dartmouth, Nova Scotia, Canada.
It is currently being run out of a storage unit, as it has outgrown the Coordinator's attic.
