Mamba Security\u2019s annual Christmas School Drive hit the streets of the city for another year, on Thursday.<\/p>\n

The project saw the team and other stakeholders visiting several schools in Germiston to thank the children from the schools for their generous donations.<\/p>

\u201cWe set up big red bins at a number of schools and the children were encouraged to donate,\u201d said Elaine Griffin, from Mamba.<\/p>\n

Donations could be anything from non-perishable food, toys and second-hand clothing, to animal food or even furniture and linen.<\/p>

Once all the donations have been collected the items will be divided and donated to a number of charities, including El-Shammah Home for Abandoned Babies and Place of Safety, Silkworth Recovery Centre, Prim Villa, Remme-Los, Germiston SPCA, Avril Elizabeth Home and the Elandsvallei Home for the Aged.<\/p>\n

Schools included, among others, Butterfly Kisses Nursery School, Daeraad Pre-Primary School, Abundant Life Christian Academy, Lynn\u2019s Pre-School, Sunnyridge Primary School, Laerskool Oosterkruin and Laerskool Die President.<\/p>\n

The team, all dressed up, visited each school, handing out sweet treats, interacting with the children and thanking them for their generosity.<\/p>\n

The company thanked all the sponsors who made the event possible and hopes to visit more schools and collect more goods for charity in 2017.<\/p>\n
