At the opening ceremony of the refurbished Cashbuild Vosloorus store, children entertained everyone with singing, cultural dancing and theatrical performances.

The Cashbuild Art-at-Heart competition entails learners from each school to submit their best artwork to Cashbuild. This artwork is displayed at the ceremony and remains on display in the Cashbuild store for the next six years.

The Manager’s Choice Award was presented to a learner from Nageng Primary School, who was the overall winner of the artwork competition. This award was announced on the day and the winning learner received a stationery pack and a glass trophy. The winner was also given the honour of officially opening the refurbished store.

The schools that benefited from the Cashbuild Art-at-Heart donations are Polokegong Primary School, Bopang Kgotso Primary School, Umtholo Primary School, Ikusasalethu Primary School, Rebontsheng Primary School, Kutlosnong Primary School, Hleziphi Primary School and Nageng Primary School.

Since the Art-at-Heart campaign was launched 17 years ago, Cashbuild has helped more than 3 000 schools in Southern Africa with over R38-million worth of building materials. Cashbuild is BEE compliant and every time a store is opened, relocated or refurbished, Cashbuild not only makes donations to local schools but also creates jobs for community members.

The Art-at-Heart competition is a southern African Cashbuild initiative whereby donations are made to some of the region’s most needy schools.
