#CaxtonCares: Fourways Review team heads over to Diepsloot to hand over books [VIDEO]
DIEPSLOOT – Our team is in Diepsloot with Montecasino to hand over the books from our joint book drive.
The Fourways Review, in a joint venture with Montecasino, recently called on Joburg North residents to donate books to celebrate International Literacy Day. The books are to be handed over to a local old age home and to children through the Diepsloot Safe-Hub.
The Safe-Hub, which is sponsored by Montecasino and based at Muzomuhle Primary School for children in the area, runs a sports and life-skills programme with the Holiness Day Care Early Childhood Development Centre and two Grade 1 classes at the school, which are the primary beneficiaries of the children’s book donations.

International Literacy Day is a United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organisation (Unesco) initiative, now in its 51st year, that was started to remind people of the importance of literacy as a matter of dignity and human rights.
This year the focus is on lifelong learning and links between literacy and skills development.
Mike Page, the general manager of Montecasino said, “Reading is an enriching part of our lives – it adds value through entertainment and learning, opening our minds to new ideas and new possibilities, whatever age we are. We’re delighted to be able to share this wealth of experiences with Diepsloot children and the old age home residents, and we would like to encourage all our visitors – and their children – to bring books and puzzles to drop off in the box, and make a difference.”
