Social Responsibility Council<br />

The SRC’s first drive since the<br />

nomination of the new Committee was<br />

a clothes drive which they ran in May.<br />

They managed to collect enough<br />

clothes to fill two vehicles and<br />

donated this to the MES Home in<br />

Johannesburg. This home helps its<br />

inhabitants by exposing them to<br />

structured programmes and the<br />

providing them with an exit<br />

opportunity to help them become<br />

sustainable citizens.<br />

The SRC made a donation towards Action for Blind and Disabled Children<br />

Organisation in June in commemoration of Youth Day.<br />

The funds went towards paying to help three youths complete a<br />

Microsoft Certified examination.<br />

For more information about this organisation visit www.action4.org.za<br />

The SRC donated their time on the 18th <strong>July</strong> <strong>2017</strong> at the Jerusalem<br />

Children’s Home in Midrand, along with much needed groceries.<br />

Axiz staff pitched in with clothing and food, making this yet another<br />

successful drive. The smiles on the children’s faces speak to their<br />

gratitude.

and played their first game on Wednesday 28 June. Axiz beat Team<br />

AMG by 118 runs to 80. The team also won their 2nd game by 1 run and<br />

wickets! Congratulations to the team and well played Gerhard!<br />
