Shopping centre gives much-needed donation
The donation will go towards the installation of a Feeding Scheme Kitchen as well as equipping pupils with practical skills they can use in the real world.
The Eastgate Shopping Centre presented Elandspark School in Bedfordview with a donation of R18 356 and four Empisal sewing machines.
The donation was made on March 14.
Participants at the hand-over included Ms Hester Wasserfall, the Eastgate centre manager; Ms Sandy Roberts, marketing; Ms Louise Duvenhage, Elandspark School marketing and Mr Josua du Plessis, the Elandspark School principal.
“The donation was raised from gift wrapping stations operated within the Eastgate Shopping Centre during the festive season.
“We thank all the shoppers who made use of this service as their contributions truly make a difference in the lives of people in our community,” said Ms Wasserfall.
Ms Louise Duvenhage from Elandspark School’s marketing department added that they have pupils from children’s homes and they require support, which is difficult to attain due to insufficient funds and resources.
“As our care of these children goes far beyond the call of duty, we need support from the community,” said Ms Duvenhage.
The donation will go towards the installation of a Feeding Scheme Kitchen as well as equipping pupils with practical skills they can use in the real world.
