Carewell Ambulances show the love to school

Local emergency services company, Carewell Ambulances donated sanitisers and face masks to St Athanasius Orthodox Christian School on 16 February.

Spokesperson for the company, Thabi Langa said since the coronavirus had become a part of everyone’s lives. As a company, they had decided to prioritise assisting disadvantaged schools by ensuring learners were not exposed to Covid-19 because of a lack of personal protective equipment.

He added that they had approached St Athanasius Christian School to understand their day-to-day challenges and to observe how best they could assist.

Upon meeting with Stefan Sebastian Ndlovu, the deputy principal for the school, Langa said concerns about personal protective equipment were highlighted.

Langa added that they donated 180 units of 500ml sanitiser bottles and face cloth masks to the learners.

“Schools remain part of our organisation’s priorities as our goal is to ensure every learner is equipped with quality education and that no obstacle is preventing any learner from achieving their best.”

“Since the opening of schools on 15 February 2021, Carewell Ambulances wanted to ensure that personal protective equipment was not a part of any school’s issues,” he added.

Ndlovu welcomed the donations and said it was a welcome gesture which helped the school and community. “Besides creating relationships, it also provides the much-needed support which small and disadvantaged schools cannot always get,” he added.

“We sincerely appreciate their contribution in protecting and serving the community at large which our school is also part of,” Ndlovu concluded
