Jubilee Mall gets R96 000 from Cashbuild's Art-at-Heart
Eight schools in Hammanskraal have each won a Cashbuild building materials voucher for R12 000 and these were presented to them at the official Cashbuild Jubilee Mall store opening ceremony on 12 May 2011.
The staff of Masakane Primary School entered the Cashbuild competition hoping they would be able to replace their water tank. The school’s principal, Maria Mothobi explained: “Our water tank has been leaking for ages and this means that very little water is available for the school to use for basic activities like cooking and drinking. We are so grateful that Cashbuild has given us this voucher, it will make a world of difference.”
Mrs Pauline Montja, principal of Tlhaloganyo Primary School is ecstatic that they have won the Cashbuild voucher. Montja said: “This school is quite dilapidated so we plan to replace our classroom doors and floors, fix the gutters outside, and replace the cupboard doors in the classroom. We also plan to build a kitchen for our nutrition programme, because we have been using a corrugated iron room for the past few years. The venue is really not suitable for storing, preparing and cooking food as the roof leaks, which damages the parcels and could potentially poison the learners. Thank you so much Cashbuild!”
At the official Cashbuild store opening on 12 May, when the vouchers totaling R96 000 were presented to all eight schools, the children showed their appreciation by entertaining everyone with singing, cultural dances and theatrical performances.
The Cashbuild Art-at-Heart competition entails learners from each school submitting their best artwork to Cashbuild. This artwork is displayed at the Jubilee Mall ceremony, and then remains on display in the Cashbuild store for the next five years.
Artwork was judged and three winners from each school were named. The winning children received Cashbuild Art-at-Heart gold, silver and bronze certificates for first, second and third place respectively. The Manager’s Choice award was also presented to the lucky winner of the artwork competition. This award was announced on the day - Lethabo Ngobeni from Mmamotse Primary School received a stationery pack and a glass trophy.
At the store opening event, Tlhaloganyo Primary School was the winner of the lucky draw and walked away with a solar geyser and free installation. This prize will ensure that they have hot water regardless of the lack of resources within their community.
