The aim of the project is to have a day whereby school children of a certain school will be permitted to wear “sivvies” to school in exchange for a tin of food.
I contacted the Principal of Denneoord Primary, he was very interested and immediately said “yes”! Subsequently he arranged the “Sivvies for Tins” day at his school on the 23rd of September 2011. We collected the food the following Monday with the help of Super Mike and his bakkie. Big up to Super!!
We delivered the food to BADISA George on the 4th of October 2011. The Badisa representatives were very appreciative as they always have a huge need for food for their Soup Kitchen.
At the end of the next school term another school has volunteered to help us with this project – Glenwood House Private School.
We are hoping to have this event four times a year at various schools in George.
