Norkem Park Primary spreads compassion through annual community drive

Each year, Norkem Park Primary School hosts a community drive to encourage learners to show compassion and care for those in need.

This year, the school once again focused on collecting and distributing Personal Care Kits for underprivileged children across various centres and homes.

Deeply rooted in the school’s values, the initiative aims to instil a spirit of giving and empathy among learners. The community encourages pupils to support one another, especially those less fortunate.

The top contributors this year were Keabetswe Shaba, who collected the most items, followed by Latalia Nkuna in second place.
Each Personal Care Kit contained essential hygiene items such as toothpaste, a toothbrush, pocket tissues, a face cloth, soap, and roll-on deodorant.

The kits were distributed to numerous local organisations and facilities, including: John Wesley Child Care Centre; Tembisa Child and Family Welfare; Kruisweg Gemeente; Little Eden Society; Avril Elizabeth Home; Casa Caritas; Epworth Children’s Village; Child Welfare SA Edenvale; Child Welfare SA Kempton Park; Rynpark 4 Snyman Home; Greater Benoni Child Welfare; Raad vir Bejaardes Kempton Park; Herfsland Old Age Home; Villa Le Themba.

Through this annual effort, Norkem Park Primary continues to make a lasting impact on the community, one care package at a time.
