Guest: Katleho Motloung, Member of the Katlehong Running Club 

The Annual Katlehong Athletics Club’s School Shoe Run will be held on the 31st of December.Members of the running club will embark on a 31km run as part of their school shoe collection drive.

Shoes are symbolic of pride and give confidence to young learners knowing that they can walk to school in comfort, as opposed to barefoot. Shoes are also a vital protection barrier between our children’s tiny soles and Africa’s rough and unforgiving terrain.

 

They believe that a new pair of shoes should be tough enough to protect a young child’s feet whether it be on the playground, on the sports field or even walking home in the middle of winter.
