During the previous week, staff of the Advertiser and a few generous sponsors, treated a group from Benevolent Park to a day out on the town, topped off with nutritious goodies to take home, as part of their Neknomination campaign.
What originally started as an online drinking game, has now evolved into a wave of random acts of kindness, performed worldwide, as people are 'paying it forward' and touching lives. Challenging others to follow suit, is a key aspect of executing a Neknomination. Moreover, a Nek-nomination must be completed within seven days from receiving the challenge.
Curro challenged their learners to bring non-perishable food, toys, clothes, shoes and stationery to school last week.
On Thursday and Friday, the school shipped off some learners with their inimitable Ekhaya Beats marimba band in tow and paid a visit to the Mossel Bay Association for People with Disabilities, as well as the Siyanthanda centre for the disabled.
Responding to the contagious rhythm of the marimba beat, it wasn't long before the visitors and their beneficiaries at both centres broke into a joyous groove, shuffle or a dance. The Curro learners jumped at the opportunity to demonstrate some of their dance moves, with the Siyanithanda learners following keenly.
Those unable to join in, shared in boisterous laughter, which was testimony to fun had by all.
According to Linda Willemse from Curro, they have already identified someone who will be receiving their Neknomination challenge soon.
