Grade 7s donate market day profits to Randburg SPCA

Grade 7 learners at Tutor the Future proved how much can be achieved through partnership when they hosted a tropical island-themed market day on September 12.

The young entrepreneurs took full charge of the planning, marketing, sales and finances across their various stalls. Each stall offered food and a game for visiting learners.

Through the funds raised, the learners donated R9 000 to the Randburg SPCA, driven by a shared love and care for animals.

Tutor the Future owner Nicole Stewart highlighted the importance of teaching learners why giving back matters.

“Educating Grade 7 learners on the importance of giving back is crucial because it provides them with a sense of purpose and boosts their self-esteem,” said Stewart.

“Handing over the donation to a worthy cause was enlightening to them, and they realised how far the money from their hard work would go,” she said.

Reflecting on the initiative, she shared how exciting and rewarding it was to raise funds for a greater cause. She hopes the learners take away how rewarding it is to work hard to benefit the less fortunate and support the animal welfare organisation, which serves as a cornerstone for animal welfare and community safety.
