Lalla Hirayama and Clover Krush on a mission to donate 20 000 school shoes in 2019
ALEXANDRA – 'Many of our children are victims of injustice and aren't able to fight for what should already be theirs.'
Clover Krush and the South African television host, actress, dancer, model and a judge on South Africa’s Got Talent Lalla Hirayama have embarked on a mission to help needy children of Alexandra.
Clover Krush and Hirayama recently visited different schools in Alexandra to donate shoes for children who come from poor families.
According to El Broide managing director at Clover Krush the initiative has seen 20 000 school children receiving brand new pairs of shoes countrywide. “Now in its second year, the #KrushGoodness project is calling upon South Africans to nominate schools whose children are most in need of school shoes,” said Broide.
“Nominations are now open and can be made by following the on-pack instructions on promotional Krush products. Krush will go through all nominations and by December 2018, 20 schools from provinces across SA will be selected. These schools will then be visited next year where 20 000 scholars will receive their brand new school shoes,” he added.
According to Hirayama many children are victims of injustice and aren’t able to fight for what should already be theirs. “Children are our most valuable resources. They are not things to be moulded but people to be unfolded. Love, education, food, clothing, warmth and educational resources, as well as health resources, are not always readily available,” she said.
“These are our future leaders and workforce, what will become of our country will ultimately rest on them. It is all of our responsibility to help where we can to ensure they have what they need to grow into empathetic, intelligent and well-rounded adults, maximising their potential. They are our flag bearers,” Hirayama concluded.
