Isinkwa – Bread for a Buddy Plan for 2012
“Bread for a Buddy” is an initiative aimed at uplifting orphaned and vulnerable children living within the Diepsloot community. This is achieved through the support and participation of Beaulieu Preparatory, its pupils and the wider school community.Sandwiches are collected every Thursday and sent to two feeding schemes in Diepsloot. If you would like to support this initiative, please send the following to school with your child on a Thursday: an un-cut peanut butter or jam sandwich, securely wrapped.
