Knights of Kindness, one of the Grade 7 leadership groups at Knight Preparatory School, gave back to the community as part of their Valentine’s Day project.
The groups are responsible for community outreach and serving the community. The Knights of Kindness ran an initiative, collecting dog and cat food from their families and donating it to Place a Pup, a non-profit organisation in Roodepoort.
Teacher Kirsten Groves explained that they will be visiting the NPO on Wednesday.
“We’re going to visit and see what their facility is like. We’re going to go play with some puppies, and then we will hand over the food collected. We want to bless them with somethings that will actually help them do their work.”

Place a Pup is a rescue and rehabilitation centre located in Roodepoort. They focus on the rescue, rehabilitation, and rehoming of abandoned, abused, and neglected puppies. The organisation operates without government funding and relies on the generosity of the public for support.
Groves emphasised the importance of learners developing the habit of giving back from an early age.
“Developing this mindset early enables young people to make a meaningful contribution to their communities. This has a significant impact, particularly for those seeking funding to sustain their NPOs effectively.”
