Durban North organisation is nuts about providing nutrition
The nutrition programme provides learners with almost 10 000 sandwiches a term, so it requires a lot of peanut butter.
THE Domino Foundation is on the hunt for peanut butter which will go towards its nutrition programme.
Sicelo Miya, youth worker with The Domino Foundation’s Life Skills programme, said there are many benefits to consuming a peanut butter sarmie post-workout.
“We are on a mission appealing for peanut butter for The Domino Foundation’s Nutrition programme. As a sportsman, I know the incredible benefits of a peanut butter sarmie after a workout session. It provides the energy my muscles need, and it adds a good dose of protein, reducing cravings for less healthy alternatives after workouts. I challenge sports teams and physical health enthusiasts to join me in donating big tubs of peanut butter to Domino,” he said.

Leader of the Nutrition programme, Cathy Whittle, said Sicelo is a health champion and confirms the praises he sings about the goodness of peanut butter.
“Peanut butter is great for building stamina. We are committed to providing protein-rich food to the learners on our programme during their school day, not only for their physical development and heart health, but also because it helps develop their brains. That’s why we call it ‘food for thought’,” she said.
Olympic diver Greg Louganis said to him, peanut butter is the breakfast of champions.
“Sicelo raised the bell bar for every active person and every sports team in Durban North to be part of the drive. Please donate and challenge the next school, team or sports club. Together, we can help nourish these young learners to become champions in the classroom and on the sports field,” he added.
