Liberty Life hands over school shoes to needy in Standerton
It was a hive of activity at iGgugulabasha Primary School on Wednesday, 9 June when the donation took place.
Liberty Life donated school shoes to five schools in Sakhile the past week.
Ms Lindiwe Mlangeni from the insurance company said learners from iGugulabasha Primary School, Madi Combined School, Nyandeni Primary School, Stanwest Combined School and Isifisosethu Primary School received shoes.
“More than 500 pairs of shoes were donated,” Ms Mlnageni also said.
The sizes of the learners from Grade R to Grade 2 were obtained beforehand.
“This initiative forms part of reaching out to the community,” she added.
It was a hive of activity at iGgugulabasha Primary School on Wednesday, 9 June when the donation of 98 pairs of shoes took place.
A row of smiling faces waited when going through the main gate, followed by drums signalling traditional Zulu dances for the boys first, then the girls.
The learners queued and took away their boxes with shoes in. Merriam Ishmail, a Grade 5 learner, delivered a speech in which Liberty Life was thanked.
As a token of appreciation, the school handed over a certificate of appreciation to Ms Mlangeni, a manager at Liberty Life.
