Charity begins at UPS

IN WHAT has become a regular event on the freight industry’s social calendar, UPS SCS South Africa held its annual Spring Charity Ball last week raising R75 000 for the Ithembelihle Lsen School in Primrose, Ekurhuleni. Over the past two years UPS has donated over R130 000 to the school which has used the funds to improve bathrooms for its approximately 140 physically disabled children. Although it is partially state-aided, it relies heavily on additional funds from the private and corporate sector to meet its operational needs and building renovation.
