EASTGATE PROMOTES EDUCATION WITH A DONATION TO ELANSDPARK SCHOOL

Eastgate Shopping Centre presented Elandspark School in Bedfordview with a donation of R16 000.00 on Tuesday, 23 June 2015.

Elandspark School is a "special needs" school where their aim is to equip their learners with practical skills via vocational training that they can use in 'the real world'.

Louise Duvenhage, Marketing Coordinator at Elandspark School says, "We are in the process of developing a gymnasium for the use of sport development with our learners. Bullying is a huge problem in many schools, therefore we would be able to eliminate these issues by having learners working together with the relevant educators in the gymnasium.

"Tshepo Monnamoroe, Operations Manager of Eastgate Shopping Centre says, "This donation was raised from our 'photos with Santa' that operated within Eastgate Shopping Centre in the lead up to the festive season. We would like to thank all the shoppers who made use of this service as their contributions are truly making a difference in the lives of people in our community.

"Participants at the hand over included Tshepo Monnamoroe (Eastgate Operations Manager), Louise Duvenhage (Elandspark School Marketing Coordinator), Josua du Plessis (Elandspark School Principal), Vincent Dlamini and Anne-Retha van Heerden (Elandspark Schoool youngest learners).
