Clive Ridgway, programme director at the station, says, "We're very excited to take the lead on this project. We are hoping to complete the task over two Saturdays, with the help of our sponsors BPC Group and Pick 'n Pay."
Helmi Muller and his team at the BPC Group will project manage the painting. They will be on site on Friday 16 and 23 August, prepping the painting area, from filling cracks, to masking tape, covering the furniture and floors, taking down frames and doing the brushwork. Pick 'n Pay will not only be sponsoring the product requirements for this project, but also cater on both Saturdays.
Smile Breakfast show presenter, Eloise Pretorius, is focusing on getting volunteers involved. Those interested can listen to her show from Mondays to Fridays between 6-9am. "It's the first time that we tackle a campaign of this nature for Smile in Action. We need 20 people per shift at any given time in order for us to complete this task. We have three shifts daily from 8.30 to noon, 11.30am to 3pm and 2.30-6pm. This is such a worthy project and an excellent way to get involved in the community. We will be doing similar projects in the future, so tune in and help in spreading a smile. It's contagious."
"The station is all about making a difference. We would like everyone to join us on one of these days to help bring some cheer in the lives of all the children and teachers at the Carel du Toit Centre. Together we can make such a huge difference," concludes Ridgway.
