McCain helps children thank their moms
McCain recently visited three schools across the country with their new brand ambassador Jessi.
McCain and Jessi visited Grade 8 classes at Forte Secondary School in Dobsonville to see what the children really wanted to thank their mothers for positive role they play in their lives.
At each of the schools, Jessi, who appears in McCain’s new TV advert, spoke about how McCain helped her surprise her superhero, her mom Nadine.
Together with McCain Jessi created a special dinner to thank her mom for everything she has done for her.
Like many moms around the country Jessi’s mom is a single mom raising her daughter alone, she faces many challenges but works incredibly hard to support them both and to be the best mom she can be, so to have a special thank you from her daughter meant the world to her.
Jessi chatted to the Grade 8’s about her story and how it is just her and her mom, she then asked the classes to share their stories about their moms in the form of an essay.
What emerged from this was a number of real and truly touching stories. Some of the children spoke about how their moms had sacrificed things for them so that they could get a new school uniform, go on that camp or join the soccer team because she got them new boots.
The stories that came out really just showcased the selflessness of moms, how they will go above and beyond to make sure that their children have everything they need.

This is why McCain is so passionate about saying thank you to these remarkable women because these little sacrifices often go unnoticed and sometimes moms don’t get the praise that they deserve.
“We are incredibly excited and happy that we will be able to do something special for these moms. After reading how much they do for their children, the challenges they face and how much love they put into their family we knew we needed to help their children say thank you to them. We cannot wait to see how the surprises unfold and are excited to be able to thank moms in this way,” said Deolinda Da Costa, Marketing Manager at McCain South Africa.
Moms are incredibly special creatures; they always know exactly what you need even if you don’t say it.
They have superpowers to help find that lost homework book, their hugs can turn a bad day into a good one and their food always seems to taste delicious no matter what they cook.
It is these little things that children often take for granted that often mean the most. There were so many beautiful stories that they shared, but five really stood out for all involved. So, McCain has decided to do something special with those five stories.
The children who wrote the chosen stories will be able to thank their moms for a special surprise that McCain South Africa will help them create.
So keep a look out for more information on the McCain school activations and the chosen stories and surprises on McCain’s social media platforms, Facebook Page, Instagram and on McCainJOYS.
