Putijaba gets R96 000 from Cashbuild's Art-at-Heart
The children at Witsieshoek Primary School in Qwa Qwa will no longer be greeted by broken windows, doors with no handles and empty book shelves each morning. This is because Witsieshoek Primary School entered into the Cashbuild Art-at-Heart competition and is one of eight lucky schools in the Qwa Qwa area to each receive a Cashbuild building material voucher to the value of R12000.
“We are very grateful to Cashbuild for the donation. We will now be able to sleep at night without worrying about waking up to a broken school”. says Mrs Mapaseka Mokoena, Principal of Witsieshoek “The children will also now be safer as we currently don’t have any form of security measures in place”.
“We plan on installing burglar bars on the windows and fit new doors in all classrooms.” adds Mrs Mokoena.
The total donation of R96 000 worth of building material were presented by Cashbuild at the Qwa Qwa store opening ceremony on the 11th of March 2009 when the school children showed their appreciation by entertaining everyone with cultural dances, theatrical performances and traditional singing.
Children from each of the schools submitted their best artwork to Cashbuild, which was displayed at the Qwa Qwa store on the day of the opening ceremony, and will be displayed in the store for the next five years.
The best artwork from the eight schools was judged and each school had three winners who received a Cashbuild Art-at-Heart gold, silver and bronze certificate. The manager’s choice award, which is the lucky overall winner of the artwork competition, was announced on the day – Thabo Ntsane from Letshalemaduke received a R500 stationery voucher and a glass trophy.
