POLOKWANE – Review spoke to Amanda Swart, director of SANCA Polokwane, who says they have launched a fundraising plan and are inviting the public as well as businesses to follow suit with this initiative in order to make a difference among the less fortunate.
“By simply placing a container in the office everyone can donate something small whenever they can throughout the year and in doing so can provide a big donation to the less fortunate at the end of the year. I strongly feel that if everyone takes hands and focus on the goal of helping a big difference can be made.”
