St Teresa’s School celebrated Mercy Day on September 22 with Mass in the morning and by supporting the Leave Your Print Campaign. This campaign is run by the Catholic Institute of Education and aims to raise much-needed funds to build or upgrade toilet facilities in under-resourced South African Catholic schools.
Sadly, many children in South Africa are subjected to poor sanitation facilities such as pit toilets, run-down, broken toilets and lack of adequate running water to run these facilities. The money raised during the Leave Your Print campaign goes towards the building, upgrading, or maintenance of such ablution facilities.
Students purchased a Leave Your Print sticker for R10 and came to school barefoot or in flip-flops in solidarity with their peers for whom going to school barefoot is unfortunately their everyday reality. They also continued to support our Springboks by wearing their #BokFriday attire.
St Teresa’s School thanks the Rosie community for their kind generosity and invites the greater community to scan the QR below to join in Leaving Their Print in impacting and making a difference in under-resourced schools.
