Children's day care centre benefits from volunteerism
'Team Tastic' spent the morning paintbrushes-in-hand giving the day care centre's rooms a fresh coat of paint and laying down new flooring to provide the children with a cleaner and more comfortable environment when playing and sleeping. The centre was also given a trailer full of donations, which included boxes of new toys, educational stationary, new blankets and mattresses, a new cot for the babies, Christmas decorations and jars of sweet treats.
The children showed their excitement and appreciation by zealously singing and dancing for the volunteers, which was followed by a lunch enjoyed by all after a productive and rewarding morning's work.
Silas Matlala, marketing manager for Tastic commented, "The company is committed to giving back to the less fortunate communities within our society. We have adopted Riwanadakalo Child Day Care Centre as part of our CSI commitment and aim to consistently provide support for the children and staff through monthly monetary contributions, supplies of rice and other essentials for their basic needs and most importantly, our time."
