Bread Buddies is a <strong>Crawford</strong> College North<br />
Coast Interact initiative that aims to feed the<br />
underprivileged in our community. Every<br />
Wednesday at first break the Interact Team<br />
as well as many other students come together<br />
in the school quad to make peanut butter<br />
and jam sandwiches. It’s a great place to<br />
make friends and listen to some good music.<br />
On average we make 120 sandwiches in 15<br />
minutes. We receive our bread, peanut butter<br />
and jam from donations made by students.<br />
The sandwiches we make go to Ithemba<br />
Labasha, a crèche in Shaka’s Head.<br />
Like the Beatles, the <strong>Crawford</strong> College North Coast Interact Club believes<br />
that all you need is love. It all started on Valentine’s Day when the team<br />
set off for the Ballito Lifestyle Shopping Centre to spread love and hope.<br />
Our talented <strong>Crawford</strong> singers entertained the shoppers with love songs,<br />
while the rest of us handed out inspirational cards, sweets and ‘free<br />
hugs’, which we believe is a cure for any bad day. The response from the<br />
community was phenomenal! It was wonderful to see how our small act of<br />
kindness made such a huge impact. The community had a little more love<br />
in it thanks to our Interact family… and maybe the Beatles too!<br />

In February, the Interact group of 2019 went<br />
to Ark Animal Rescue Centre in Chartwell,<br />
Johannesburg. They cleaned shelters, moved<br />
large furniture and tidied up certain areas.<br />
They also spent time with the puppies<br />
feeding them, playing with them and loving<br />
them. This symbiotic relationship benefited<br />
both our students and the neglected animals<br />
in our community!<br />
Students and teachers from<br />
<strong>Crawford</strong> College Pretoria<br />
visited the Sunnyside Pen<br />
Ignite Education Centre to<br />
deliver much-needed gifts<br />
to the children. On previous<br />
visits to the centre, it was<br />
established that there was a<br />
need for earphones to assist<br />
the students with their reading<br />
programme. Using funds<br />
received from the My School<br />
Card initiative, <strong>Crawford</strong><br />
College Pretoria was able to<br />
donate 25 sets of earphones,<br />
as well as toys, books and<br />
other items that were donated<br />
by parents and students.<br />

In support of the fight against cancer,<br />
<strong>Crawford</strong> College Pretoria hosted a<br />
CANSA Shavathon/Sprayathon. They<br />
raised over R<strong>60</strong> 000 from the event.<br />
Teacher, Richard van Jaarsveld, shaved<br />
his hair, beard and eyebrows in support<br />
of this worthy cause and received a<br />
R9 500 donation from the Muslim<br />
Students’ Association.<br />
