Cherry-N, Claiming Ground bring smiles to School for the Deaf
SITEKI - Fashion house Cherry-N joined hands with Claiming Ground Records to bring smiles to the School for the Deaf pupils.
This was during a fun day which took place at the school last week Saturday and was pioneered by the Rotaract Club of Manzini.
The main objective was to raise awareness and also reach out to an often marginalised group of citizens.
On the day, members of the Rotaract Club who included Claiming Ground Records’ Muzi ‘Mozaik’ Ngwenya, Qibho Intellektual, and Amanda Mo got to participate in different games including the sack race, egg and spoon race, volleyball and soccer.
The primary school children had their faces painted, much to their excitement. Speaking on behalf of the Rotaract Club, the President, Peter Shins, mentioned that the club had planned to host this event for some time.
"We were supposed to visit a couple of weeks ago but we had to push the event forward. We are really pleased to finally see this happen and we are learning a lot here. It’s easy to take for granted just how difficult it can be to live with a disability but it’s amazing to see how jovial the pupils are," he said.
The coordinator of the event, Cherry-N’s Nomabizo Nxumalo thanked those who contributed to the event. "I must thank our friends at Rotaract, the Rotary Club of Manzini and all the other Rotaract Clubs in Swaziland who made a contribution and made time to make this event the success it has been," she said.
Some of the items which were donated on the day included 100 new pairs of canvas shoes donated by Tom Shoes, an American based company, 80 litres of paint donated by Gridlock Security, new clothes donated by local labels under the Cherry-N umbrella such as SO Fresh and Sgt Republic and food for all 138 youngsters, 80 per cent of which was donated by Claiming Ground Records.
Mozaik stated that as a music stable they had always wanted to make a contribution of this nature to society but their busy schedules had got in the way before.
"People with disability need a fair chance in life and should be treated like everyone else. I’m actually amazed by their talents and I can only implore fellow Swazis not to neglect them. They are really special," Ngwenya said.
