At least 200 children received much needed school shoes during the first week of the 2026 academic year by the Libra Trust, a project spearheaded annually by Peter Petersen in memory of his daughter Tracey Agram.
She died in 2015 and was very involved in assisting underprivileged children. Perpetuating her passion served to remind him of her selflessness and keep her memory alive. Petersen described his daughter as humble and passionate about children. He was devastated by her death from a heart attack.
Last Friday (16 January) Agram’s joyful spirit was clearly seen in the eyes of numerous children who were jubilant at not being forgotten.
Learners of ACJ Phakade, Rusthof and Dr GJ Joubert primary schools benefited from the project.
“I come from a disadvantaged background myself and this is a matter close to my heart,” said Petersen. ”
I feel privileged to be able to do this for nine years now and hopefully it will inspire others to do the same. I’ve also ensured this project will continue for years to come, even after I am gone, so Tracey’s legacy will live on.”
