More than 2 000 vibrant artworks poured in for The North Coast Courier Orphan Fund‘s annual colouring-in competition, raising over R40 000 for local children’s charities.

The competition featured six main winners, three from Beaches Primary School and three independent entries, with all winners receiving food hampers and exciting prizes. However, special recognition went to a 15 further prize winners who represented The North Coast Courier Orphan Fund beneficiaries.

These winners came from the Nkobongo Resource Centre, the Enduduzweni Drop-in Centre in Etete and Melville and the Siyakhula Crèche in Shaka’s Head. As part of their prize, they enjoyed a fun-filled day at Sugar Rush Park, taking part in the activities and receiving goodie bags filled with exciting treats.
