The first of four containerloads of educational items collected by volunteers in the UK arrived in Cape Town recently aboard the Safmarine Nomazwe. It’s part of a joint effort by UK charity School- Aid whose mission is to provide practical support to schools and other educational establishments in underprivileged areas of Africa. Capespan, in conjunction with Maersk Line and other logistics partners, co-ordinates the free collection, containerisation and shipment of the goods. The pallets of reading and reference books, stationery, art supplies, school chairs and cricket equipment will be distributed to schools in the Cape and Gauteng.
