Putting a fun spin on a fundraising initiative with the French International School.
The learners, parents and teachers from the Lycée Jules Verne School in Morningside eagerly took on the cereal domino challenge on 28 May. The group collected boxes of cereal and set them up like a domino chain before toppling them over.
“Despite the wind picking up, students and teachers set the domino effect on its way! The students thoroughly enjoyed making the course and watching it fall, cheering as the cereal boxes fell one by one,” said the school’s communications manager Nonhlanha Kunene.
The school also brought on Empact Group who donated 50 cereal boxes and TLS4Soweto, who doubled the amount of donations by the learners. The boxes were then donated to the non-profit community organisation Shaping Hope and Leadership in Kliptown (Shalk) as part of the Shalk Cereal Challenge.
“In total the school collected more than 650 boxes of cereal for the event.”
Over the past four years, Shalk has supported hundreds of youth by creating a safe space where they can receive daily meals, early childhood education, literacy programmes, guidance and care.
“Before Covid-19, Shalk survived on the fees tourists paid to visit. Now, the organisation relies on donations to support its youth,” Kunene concluded.
