“Beyond just a quiz, this event also served a noble cause, eliciting donations from our compassionate parents for our selected charities. The outpouring of support was overwhelming, enabling us to make a significant impact on the lives of many through donations to Fora, Zandspruit Primary School, House of Hope Orphanage, and Zonneveld Old Age Home,” exclaimed Lindsay van Boven from the school.
A heartfelt thank you resonates with every parent whose generosity made a difference.
