Helderberg High School has once again demonstrated its commitment to making a positive impact on the community by participating in the Santa Shoebox Project.
In all, 16 thoughtfully-packed shoeboxes were donated to Morkel Cottage Daycare in Strand on Wednesday 23 October.
The Santa Shoebox Project, which began in 2006, provides children with essential items, as the project aims to uplift their lives and brighten their Christmas.
Each shoebox contained a carefully-selected assortment of gifts, including toothpaste, a toothbrush, soap, a wash cloth, an outfit of clothing, educational supplies, sweets and a toy. These items will not only provide immediate comfort and joy, but also contribute to the children’s overall well-being.
A group of Helderberg High School learners had the opportunity to deliver the shoeboxes to Morkel Cottage Daycare, and this hands-on experience allowed the students to witness the impact of their generosity and connect with the children they were helping.
