The team started-off at Ikhutseng primary school in Vaaltyn village near Reivilo and handed-over more than 50 school materials.

“We are very grateful and appreciate the love shown to us by Friends of Taung Givers. This will go the long way in nourishment because by developing our children, we nurturing our future leaders” Gaopalangwe said.

The Friends of Taung Givers work together with African National Congress Women’s League(ANCWL) and the member of the structure in the province Boitumelo Mahlangu said the ANC liberated everybody to have education and be equipped.

“The ANC says the doors of learning shall be opened for all. We appreciate the scintillating job done by Friends of Taung Givers.

“It really shows that God is great. He said Friends of Taung Givers to show support to our children. At Reduetswe we are very grateful and pray to God that he must give them courage. Please keep on helping others too as God will bless you so much, we cannot show how happy we are…we are taken away” Moitsi said.

Sanco members also came to witness the event and send their message of support and appreciation.

“Friends of Taung Givers have a clear and simple vision: a prosperous and inclusive future without waste.  A future without soci-economic issues that affect us daily is not just a dream; it’s a necessity.  Poverty reduces the effectiveness in us to reach our destiny,  increases pressures on the unconducive environment and harms the vitality of our communities” Sandy Gasekoma said.  

Gasekoma said it does not have to be this way. “Poverty is the result of a broken process. Fortunately, this is a process that can be fixed.”-TDN
