Eersterust community drive continues at Norridge Park Primary
We want to keep on to spread the good news to those who don’t see light at the end of a long and trying journey we are facing in Covid-19.
The second #IAmAwesome community drive took place at Norridge Park primary school in Eersterust on Monday.
The aim of the drive is to do some much-needed repair work for the school.
Precious Xokolo, executive of Edifice Facilities Management (EFM) and project leader, said they also provided mentorship and much needed assistance.
“Despite the repair work, we also assisted the school with basic maintenance such as plumbing, fire compliance and planting of trees,” she said.
“We are looking at doing a lot more in the near future.
“We want to keep on spreading the good news to those who don’t see light at the end of a long and trying journey we are facing with Covid-19,” she said.
Xokolo added that besides the repair work, up-and-coming boxing talents both pro and amateurs participated in a 60-minute exhibition training hub.
“A silicone bracelet with the words #I Am Awesome was given to every child as a reminder of the message that we are always there to lend a guiding hand.
“Hub one showcased the message of mentorship and fighting the inner you on a daily basis to reach your dreams and aspirations.
“The second hub explained the message that the people involved in this drive will always be there to guide this group of children, instilling discipline and life lessons to overcome trying and difficult situations.
“The third and fourth hub respectively showcased good lifestyle choices to build a strong physical and mental foundation as well as overcoming daily challenges and setting short-term goals knowing the people participating will always be there to lend a guiding hand.”
Xokolo said that the future of this great country is our youth and as a group of companies they want to embrace a new way of thinking and building.
Adams & Adams Attorneys, Arrowhead properties, IndluPlace properties and Boxing Club Benoni formed part of the drive.
Boxing club attendees consisted of Joe Adams, Thabo Ntabanyane, Damien Herrero, Doctor Pilusa, Mikaeel van Doorsen, Nkopane Mokoena, Kwena Mokoena, Dillian Robus, Harry Ramagoadi-Manaka (coach and mentor) and Siphiwe Mbele, EFM sponsored amateur boxer.
