Support the Domino Foundation’s peanut butter drive

A Grade R learner and his friends are calling on fellow primary school learners to donate towards the cause.

THE Domino Foundation’s South Coast Nutrition programme is running a drive for peanut butter, as this is the basic filling for the thousands of sandwiches given to children in need.

“There are hungry children in early childhood development centres and schools in our community needing our help. The Domino Foundation’s Toti kitchen makes 1 000 peanut butter sandwiches every week to provide a nutritious meal for children who would otherwise go hungry during their school day,” said Domino’s communication officer, Rowan Phillips.

Daniel and his friends are calling for every learner in Amanzimtoti primary schools to join them in the Peanut-Power Challenge.
