Do It Day 2009

Sunvalley School revamp

On Friday, 18 September, a group of Flight Centre senior management set off for Shosanguwe to the Sunvalley school to revamp this educational centre as part of the annual Do It Day.

Sunvalley school is populated by children from a disadvantaged community, most of whom are looked after by their brothers and sisters owing to HIV deaths in the family.

An awesome day was had by all and in the words of Janine Salame, Flight Centre’s General Manager: “All of us were extremely enlightened by the experience”

Flight Centre is already proposing a second trip to the school to fix the playground and plant some grass for the children to play on.

Do It Day was initiated by Greater Good South Africa and this year  3,862 South Africans joined hands to paint, plant, clean, read, teach, share and empower your communities on 217 projects across the country on Do It Day.

That’s a staggering 30,896 volunteer hours or over 15 years of 9 to 5 work.
