Bread tags and bottle tops make a difference
200kg of bread tags and 450kg of beverage tops is all that is needed to purchase a new wheelchair.
ST Benedict School recently invited Sue Martin from the Quadriplegic Association of South Africa (QASA) to collect their bread tags and bottle tops from last term.
The project, as a whole is growing, and continues to donate wheelchairs to those who are not in a position to afford their own.

Educator at St Benedict, Shareen Gould said, “It is said that we make a living by what we get but we make a life by what we give.”
Gould reminded people that 200kg of bread tags and 450kg of beverage tops is all that is needed to purchase a new wheelchair for someone in need.
She appealed to the community to help by collecting their bread tags and bottle tops and dropping them off at collection points such as St Benedict School.
