hard will allow then to knit many more

garments for the needy.

Dear Mrs Annemarie Mostert

On behalf of the Bongi Ngema-Zuma Foundation, I would like to thank Sesego Cares, together with its business affiliates for the valuable contribution of Toms towards Ukukhanya Kwe-Africa Primary School Project which was held on the 18th April 2015. Your generous support helped us to continue executing our strategy and to achieve BNZ Foundation’s mission “to create awareness of diabetes and to support people living with the condition”.

Three Pillars that govern our strategy:

1. HEALTH -with specific focus on diabetes and other non-communicable diseases;

2. EDUCATION - the foundation considers education as the cornerstone for growth in any developing country —as a re-

sult, it is fully involved in promoting actions and partnerships that will have a positive impact in the lives of young people while they are still in school;

3. EMPOWERMENT AND DEVELOPMENT of people from rural and peri-urban areas with a special focus on

vulnerable communities including women, children and the aged. The donation included: School uniforms, Computers, Stationery, School garden and other necessities such as blankets, groceries and toiletries. Furthermore, the donation did not only

benefit indigent learners, It also benefitted the whole community of Molweni. It is through the generous support of companies like you who make it possible for our organization to continue on its mission and to make the communities aware that diabetes can be managed.

Your support which is a vote of confidence in our mission has buoyed the BNZ Foundation and we are looking forward to a continuous positive relationship as we continue improving the lives of fellow South Africans.

Warm regards

They certainly had a lot of fun. They made

new friends and learnt so much on the

camp. The pictures tell the story better!
