The FESPA Foundation’s Steve Thobela ka Mdlalose and his team, along with Printing SA’s Abisha Katerere and Jermaine Naicker, and Sign Wonder’s Justin Robert and his team, were at Batau Primary School on July 18 to do their part for Mandela Day. Batau Primary School is one of the schools selected by the FESPA Foundation, an initiative repurposing exhibition materials that would otherwise go to waste and supporting education in rural communities by giving young learners better opportunities through access to improved resources. The initiative was founded in October last year by Neil Felton, CEO, FESPA.
The FESPA Foundation has invited those in the print industry to join them in transforming the lives of children in under-resourced schools. The FESPA Foundation is calling for volunteers to get involved in uplifting one of its five partner schools: Evane Combine School in Dlomodlomo (approximately 100km from Vryheid); Malekapane Primary School in Limpopo (30km from Lebowakgomo); Pitseng ya Thuto Primary School near Lebowakgomo; Madesei Primary School near Lebowakgomo; and Batau Primary School, approximately a 2-hour drive on Moloto Road towards Marble Hall.
