It was all smiles at the Athlone School for the Blind, thanks to CPUT staff members who donated a pair of schools shoes.

The school shoes were packaged in CPUT bags and dropped off at the school by the Marketing and Communication Department.

Situated in Bellville, the school provides education for blind and visually impaired children from some of the Western Cape’s poorest communities.

The school’s psychologist, Patricia Scheepers, thanked CPUT and says the donation of schools shoes is much needed.

A big thank you to all staff who decided to give back and make a difference in the lives of children!

WOW! CPUT staff are awesome!

Thank you to all staff members who donated a pair of school shoes and for making CPUT’s first 10th birthday social responsibility drive such a huge success.

We even received some grey school pants!

Also, a big thank you to all other individuals who donated, such as friends and family members of CPUT staff members, as well as alumni.

A special thank you goes out to learners at the CBC St Johns in Parklands who donated school shoes along with their teachers, Janene Mostert and Dominque Afonso, both CPUT alumni.

THANK YOU: Teachers and learners from CBC St Johns in Parklands along who donated school shoes

The shoes will be donated to a local school that caters for learners living with disabilities.
