Spark Bedfordview makes donation to a local school

With the help of parents and staff members, the school was able to hand over 56 new pairs of school shoes and 10 pre-loved school shoes.

Spark Bedfordview handed over school shoes, socks and other essentials to Khangezile Primary School on June 13.

This initiative is just one of many the school does to serve the community of Ekurhuleni.

According to Khangezile Primary School educator, Miss Maposh, scholars at the school are from different backgrounds with most being from underprivileged homes, and this often affects how they arrive at school.
