The Coca-Cola Beverages South Africa (CCBSA) Wadeville plant spent last Monday at the Rekopane Inclusive Development Centre as part of their Corporate Social Investment (CSI) Employee Volunteer Programme.<\/p>\n

Rekopane, situated in Primrose East, is a non-profit organisation that caters for children with moderate, severe and profound physical and intellectual disabilities.<\/p>

<\/div>\n

On the day, over 120 volunteers from CCBSA repainted the boundary walls in bright colours and painted murals, made outdoor benches, repainted cots, repainted the jungle gym and covered the walls in the children\u2019s main bedroom with a mural of famous cartoon characters.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe paintings have brightened up our centre and I\u2019m certain our children\u2019s faces will light up when they wake up to such a beautiful site every day,\u201d said Snooky Kau, founder of Rekopane.<\/p>

CCBSA also donated and installed a Jojo tank, as well as a vegetable garden next to the centre to help sustain their vegetable tunnel.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur water bill has put a financial strain on the centre.<\/p>\n

\u201cHowever, the donation of the Jojo tank will allow us to settle our water bill and use that money on other supplies,\u201d said Snooky.<\/p>\n

Geogett Naidoo, the CSI specialist for CCBSA in Gauteng, said: \u201cWe had a lovely day and we will continue to operate and live by contributing to the development of our country.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe at CCBSA encourage all employees to at least spend one day a year on community leave to participate in the employee volunteer programme.\u201d<\/p>\n
