Ten children from Germiston Child Welfare, together with a few Tekkie Tax volunteers were treated to a fun-filled day with Happy, the new Tekkie Tax mascot, recently.<\/p>\n

Happy was able to interact with the children by giving them lots of hugs and treats while they enjoyed a scavenger hunt.<\/p>

\u201cThis was a truly inspiring day, and it makes us remember why we work so hard at Germiston Child Welfare.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt was nice to see the big smiles on the children\u2019s faces,\u201d said Barbara Bouwer, director of Germiston Child Welfare.<\/p>

The local organisation is gearing up for National Tekkie Tax Day on Friday, May 26. Companies, schools and individuals are invited to buy their Tekkie Tax laces for R35 and support their charity of choice.<\/p>\n
