On Monday, the 16th of January 2023, students across the country reported for the start of the new school year. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

For a large number of them, it was their first time attending school, and for others, it was their return to school to further their education.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Since its inception, Octotel has always prioritized education as one of the most effective means of transforming the lives of young South Africans. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Western Cape\u2019s leading fibre network brought smiles to a group of disadvantaged students from Langa Township. They were each gifted with a pair of new school shoes through the company\u2019s Walk A Child Back To School initiative which prioritizes learners who do not have suitable shoes for school.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cOne of our Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) initiatives for this year is to gift Western Cape children, who have never owned a pair of shoes, with their first ever pair, and help restore hope, pride and dignity in each of our country\u2019s underprivileged learners,\u201d explained Octotel CSR Team Lead, Carly Haydricks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This initiative is designed to provide school shoes to children in the communities where Octotel operates. The criterion for selecting recipients is purely based on social need \u2013 teachers are given the responsibility to identify the children at their respective schools and there are no academic requirements for any learners who wish to receive a pair of school shoes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe overall plan for the Walk A Child Back To School initiative is to provide children from various communities with school shoes and perhaps expand that to other learning materials, like stationery, school bags, school uniform, etc. We believe that learners need to be encouraged to continue with school. Shoes should not be another barrier a learner must overcome in order to have a positive schooling experience,\u201d added Haydricks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The first handover took place at Langa High School, one of the legacy schools in the township of KwaLanga,Cape Town. A total of 33 pairs of school shoes were given to students in need.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cFor Octotel to come here in our township to provide us with these shoes is more about giving our students an opportunity to be at the same level with other students, giving these kids something to strive for,\u201d says one beneficiary.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe happiness on those kids\u2019 faces was all we needed to see to know that we made the right decision in getting involved in this initiative. Kids are always at their most productive when comfortable and content, \u201d Haydricks stated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The donation of shoes has restored hope to the learners at Langa High School. In addition to providing free fibre connectivity for the school, Octotel hopes that their contribution will also enable the children to gain confidence as well as feel rewarded and feel cared for.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
