Car manufacturer shows charitable side through its initiative

The Chevrolet Ute Force Project showcased its charitable side by donating sporting resources to 13 local schools in Maviljan last Thursday.

Last August the initiative’s “indestructible spirit” campaign was launched with the aim of developing soccer projects in communities. Barney Primary School was one the fortunate schools which benefited from this gesture. The community project focuses on helping the youth.

Through countrywide sustainable initiatives, the Ute Force team enables children to play and learn, agiving them the opportunity to enjoy their childhood. Among the team was world-renowned swimmer Natalie du Toit. She said children needed to follow their dreams despite their family backgrounds and needed to believe in themselves.

“Today I bring the message of believing in yourself to the children of Barney Primary. Anything is possible if only you can have an indestructible spirit, whatever you want you can achieve it,” she said.

According to the Chevrolet brand manager, Tim Hendon this is a way of establishing soccer leagues in schools so that tomorrow they can be able to carry on. “This will make community to be more stronger and as we all know that a healthy body makes a healthy child, by doing this we know that sports can teach as many lessons than in classroom,” he said.

He added that sports will prepare most of the children to be disciplined, interpersonal skills, and will groom them to be well adjusted adults.

Speaking to the principal of the school, Millias Mahole said as a school they were overwhelmed, and would like to thank Chevrolet for including them in its project. “We have been struggling to get sports resources, and today Chevy has come to our rescue. We would once again thank them and we promise to carry on with developing talent,” he concluded.
