Children enjoy entertainment and visits from various companies for Mandela Day
Much-needed medical, food and clothing donations and live entertainment spoils for local school.
Ithembelihle Lsen School relished visits from a number of companies last week amid Nelson Mandela Day celebrations.
The school welcomed Voith and Smiley Kids Primrose to their school last Wednesday and Reckitt Benckiser last Thursday.
Voith assisted with lunch servings at the school and arranged soup and rolls for learners as their 67 minutes for Mandela Day.
The company currently sponsors the medication and doctor services for the school, as well as assists with facility improvements of the school’s hostel.
Smiley Kids Primrose set to lift the learners’ spirits with sprightly song and dance performances during their visit, accompanied by food and clothing donations.
Reckitt Benckiser gave a hygiene talk at the school to promote physical cleanliness and the importance of vigorously washing your hands.
“We are passionate about hygiene and we’ve created this activation that enables us to spread the importance of cleanliness in an effort to eradicate germs and possible illnesses,” said Cindy Jansen-de Jonge, facilities manager of Reckitt Benckiser.
“At this age, children’s brains are like sponges. If we can teach them to regularly wash their hands, it becomes a habit which they can carry into adulthood.”
