Toekies Covid-19 scheme, bikers give big sanitary donation
At least three schools in Toekomsrus benefited from a sanitary donation by bikers and the Toekomsrus Covid-19 scheme.
More than 170 sanitary products and toiletry items were donated recently thanks to a joint effort by The Bikers and the Toekomsrus Covid-19 scheme. Learners at at least three schools in and around Toekomsrus benefited in the process.
According to Dawood Rabbie, the president of The Bikers, “We are just a passionate group of bikers wanting to make a difference in the community”.
He said The Bikers consists of two motorcycle clubs, namely Throttle Divaz and Skeem Sam.
“We partnered with the Toekomsrus Covid-19 scheme who then decided to donate sanitary products to girls,” he said.
Oscar Oliphant, spokesperson for the Toekomsrus Covid-19 scheme said the products provided by The Bikers were donated to three schools in the area, namely Toekomsrus Primary School, Hartzstraat Primary School and Randfontein Secondary School.
“A total of 74 sanitary products were handed to Randfontein Secondary School, and Toekomsrus Primary and Hartzstraat Primary received 50 sanitary products each.
Our main aim is to work with schools. We have a soft spot for learners, and we think of them first even when we do our food schemes.
“This is, however, our first time working with The Bikers and we wish to continue to do so in the future. Thank you.”
Speaking on behalf of Toekomsrus Primary School, deputy principal Percy Flowers said he was grateful for the donation.
“My heart is filled with joy that we have Toekomsrus Covid-19 scheme in the community, as well as The Bikers. The fact that they thought of schools in the community means a lot to me, so on behalf of my school I am very thankful that there are people who care about our learners, especially the needy ones. They must keep up their spirit of caring, and may they continue caring for and supporting the community,” he said.
