The Principal at Little Flower Primary School in Eshowe writes:

"Our school received boxes of books that were donated by you. We would like to say a big thank you to each and everyone who made this possible.

"The books are outstanding. The 'talking books' were a hit. They are very welcome addition to our library.

"Our school is a primary school which caters mainly for learners from the rural areas around our school. Many of whom are only exposed to English at school. Their home language being IsiZulu. They don’t have libraries near their homes and parents don’t have the money to buy books for them to read at home.

"You will never know how much we appreciate this wonderful donation. It means so much to the school and the learners."
