A total of 5 280 packs of sanitary towels will be donated in these areas,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhat SPAR is doing for the communities around South Africa is admirable and will change many young women\u2019s lives in a positive way,\u201d she concluded.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>SPAR Eastern Cape and dairy processor, Woodlands Dairy, recently joined forces to
