Before the start of the December school holidays, Peermont Children’s Trust administrator Thomas Masango visited the primary school aftercare centres supported by the trust in Ekurhuleni to deliver food parcels to help keep centre learners nourished during the long festive season break. On November 21, he visited Nageng Primary School Aftercare Centre in Vosloorus and handed out parcels to learners.

It’s the festive season and while a lot of people look forward to going on holiday and enjoying extravagant meals with family and friends, there are many who are not so fortunate.

In an effort to make sure the children who attend the aftercare centres it supports in Ekurhuleni at least have food during the December school holidays, the Peermont Children’s Trust (PCT), one of Peermont Global’s flagship Corporate Social Investment (CSI) programmes, handed food parcels to these learners before the holidays began.

As part of its financial support of the aftercare centres, deserving youngsters receive supervised aftercare during the school term and a daily meal as well as food parcels before the June and December holidays.
