3 schools receive 60 000 pens
Local celebrities were among BIC SA representatives that visited schools to make an invaluable contribution
As part of the 60th birthday celebrations for BIC CLIC Cristal ballpoint pen, 60 000 pens were donated to underprivileged schools in Johannesburg.
The pens were distributed among three schools namely Emisebeni Junior Primary, Siyabonga Secondary and Moriting Primary School.
Local celebrities Maps Maponyane, William Lehong and Thando Thabethe attended the pen handovers at the schools.
The celebrities took the campaign to heart as each was able to nominate a school and then drum up votes for their school of choice via social media support.

“We were thrilled to be involved in the 60th birthday celebrations and witness the excitement at the schools that we visited.
“Education is the best exit strategy for poverty – stay in school, try your hardest, make the most of each day with your education,” said Maponyane.
