Mc Weiler Primary opened 2020 on a high with a new partnership that donated items to prevent social aspects that impede learning.
This support, termed Black Child Initiative, is from a partnership of Buddies Consortium and Siga Culinary Restaurant who donated stationery and other school items. “Our vision is to rebrand our youth by giving back to the community through the school. The aim is to decrease school dropout and through it, new HIV infections, unplanned and unwanted pregnancies and unemployment,” the group said in a statement by their chairperson David Ndala who wished the learners success and a prosperous 2020.
Ndaba said the donated items were from a campaign conducted at the restaurant. “The items should also help them to work smart in school.”
More is in store for the community from the group through a campaign against dreaded diseases on 1 February. They invite community members to join them in a walk or cycling events where they will be exposed to the dangers and prevention of cancer and diabetes. The events will be from 7am to 7pm starting at Siga Culinary Restaurant on East Bank Drive.
