Our very first HELPING HEARTS event took place at the REFURBISHMENT LAUNCH of P&L Siyabuswa on 15 September 2022. Seeing the joy this long anticipated initiative brought to the children that participated gave us a sense of pride and hope for the future of our wonderful nation.
Winners of a pre-arranged colouring competition were invited to participate and celebrate the day with the community, store staf members, operation and support ofice staf that each had a role to play in the refurbishment process of the store. On the day, the pre-primary students arrived at the store, all bright eyed, excited and dressed to impress in either their school uniforms or traditional wear and costumes, it was their day to shine.
Prizes and certificates were awarded for best dance performance and for the coloring competition. Each of the five winning Creches received a R5000 instore account to spend on building materials to use on improving their respective schools. They also received new co-branded school signboards, T-shirts, pens, certificates and trophies as well as fun party packs, food and drinks to celebrate the occasion.
The P&L Hardware staff members were duly impressed with the song and dance provided by the talented youngsters and would like to thank each school and child that participated in the event and for making the first Helping Hearts function such a huge success. Once again, a very big thank you to the staff for their hard work and late nights in making this day a success.
