Borolong youth donate to orphans

The MP for Tonota North, Fidelis Molao, graced the occasion when the donation, which comprised 24 pairs of shoes and bundles of clothing in two boxes, were handed over by a representative of the youth, Malebogo Bochena to the school's senior guidance teacher Segametsi Mbulawa and a member of the school's Guidance Committee Ikgopoleng Maganu.

In an interview with Mmegi, Bochena said she first broached the idea of the donation one particularly wintry morning in June when she saw several pupils coming to school without adequate clothing. "It was in one of those extremely cold mornings two months or so ago as I was driving to work when I saw shivering children walking barefoot to school," she said. "As the mother of a five-year-old boy, the sight of those poorly-dressed children troubled me and I thought something should be done about it.
