The #LU4C #50For50 School Shoe campaign visited Grabouw, commercial centre for the vast Elgin Valley, the largest single export fruit-producing area in Southern Africa.
The Crew visited 3 schools in the area, Arieskraal Primary School, Maxonia Primary School and St Michaels Primary School. Learners received a brand-new pair of school shoes, stationary packs, a lucky packet filled with treats, and the learners and parents all received the Husami Special – a warm punet of Akni!
Hearts were filled with joy and so some degree sadness hearing how some learners walk 9km daily to and from school. Parents and teachers saying that with winter around the corner, learners will get to school with dry feet atleast. The challenges of running 50 half marathons, the aching bodies and fundraising drive yet again proved to be worthwhile.
We are grateful to all of our donors and sponsors who all played a roll in helping us achieve this objective – Alhamdulillah.
