Our Corporate Social Investment Outreach Initiative
Supporting local school, Sandaalhout Primary in Delft, Western Cape, with a BOOKDRIVE - Community Event!
Angels in Action: Angels Team get hands on at the Sandaalhout Primary Open Day – Jan 2025
Supporting the School as part of our Mission to Make a Meaningful Impact!
Our Book Drive was such a great way to start the year! The Angels team and volunteers engaged one-on-one with the staff and parents, getting hand-on with covering books at the schools Open Day event held in January.
A highlight of the event was the fabulous contribution of 5 x 20m Rolls of plastic received from a local business, Ntsikana Trading, an office stationery and equipment supplier based in Blue Downs! When the owner, Ntsikana Rumani-Allah heard about the Book Drive event, she understood the need to support this local school and went the extra mile – attending on the day and even going to fetch another roll of plastic when the team ran out! What an amazing display of kindness! Thank you for supporting Sandaalhout Primary, Ntsikana Trading!
We have not reached our Fundraising target yet – so it is not too late to make your contribution! Every donation received will help support the staff and learners, by supplementing the very limited resources available from the Education Department. See the school’s WISH LIST items below that we are currently fundraising toward.
Will you join us in this journey of hope and transformation? Together we can have a far greater impact!
