“The success of our Santa Shoebox pledges went beyond the number of boxes filled, it created an opportunity for our school community to develop empathy and understand the joy that comes from giving and highlighting the power of community and compassion.
“Every shoebox was packed with love, we found a story – a story of kindness, hope, and connection that transcends boundaries and brings vessels of joy.”
Adding that the care in ensuring every box was perfect resonated in her classroom, like a melody of generosity.
“I would like to extend my sincere gratitude to the staff at Assumption Convent, parents, community and most importantly our learners who give selflessly.
I would also like to place on record my little Elves: Micaela De Freitas, Natalie Mawson-Kopping, Avuzwa Essien, Nicole van Zyle, Soraya Sabni, Kgetheho Tshoma, Buhle Sangweni and Katleho Ndoda, who carried this project with love and commitment.
“As we celebrate this achievement, we also look forward to hope,” she added.
