Slated for November 28, participants will depart from Amanzimtoti Community Hall for the carefully planned 5km route. Founder of the NPO, Dale van Blerk, said the event would include an exciting family-friendly festival, where there will be chances to win fantastic prizes, all the while providing invaluable support to a school in need.

The goal of the fundraiser is to build a much-needed assembly hall for the school, which will provide respite for the learners during inclement weather, provide the perfect venue for the school to host examinations, events, parent meetings and more, which will ultimately benefit the school’s more than 1000 learners.

The NPO needs more corporations, companies and businesses to join the project.
