On 11 April 2023, MaxProf visited the Girls and Boys Town in Magaliesburg and Randfontein to deliver a total of 120 backpacks and stationery sets. The children and management of the centres expressed their gratitude for MaxProf’s generosity. An additional 80 backpacks and stationery sets will be delivered to the head office in Auckland Park, Johannesburg, which will bring the total to 200 backpacks and stationery sets worth R 81,210.70. MaxProf will also donate an additional 150 smaller backpacks to the Girls and Boys Town which the children can use to store toiletries and other personal items.
It was heart-breaking to hear that the centre management must loan the backpacks to students to ensure that the items last longer and are used sparingly. To offer the children an opportunity to have bags of their own is a small gesture that we hope will go a long way.
A message of hope was relayed to the boys, encouraging them to take control of their lives and become meaningful members of society. The girls were trickling in from their holidays but were excited to receive the donation. MaxProf trusts that the items will provide the children with the tools to write their own fate.
