We have received an appeal from a Jeppe Old Girl, Alex Antoniou (class of 2009), for assistance with certain items to help with therapy sessions for children. Alex works as an Occupational Therapist in the Thelle Mogoerane Hospitalโs Rehab Centre with children with physical disabilities, intellectual impairments, sensory disorders and learning difficulties..
The school will be closing 67 minutes early on Friday 29th July to enable the girls to collect as many items as possible for the children in the Rehab Centre. The collection will take place over the next two weeks until 12th August 2016.
We are thrilled to make this collection our โMake every Day a Mandela Day projectโ andย appreciate every effort that is made by each family which directly benefits our fellow human beings and makes our country a better place.
The required items have been itemised into 8 categories-Babies; Toddlers; Pre-school; School up to 6 years; Stationery; Craft materials ; Childrensโ CDs and 2nd hand clothes (up to 6 years).
