The items were presented as a corporate gesture after the needs of the schools were made known to TelEm Group shortly before the start of the school term, and since the company's focus this year has been on the youth and community, a special effort was made to see how assistance could be given.
"The school term has already started, but we have been assured by the recipient schools that they will find good homes with the children in the respective schools who are most in need of them," said Mrs Read more
