Brand spanking new school shoes need ..... ?

Polish .. and 200+ pairs of shoes need lots of polish!

Everyone knows of that fabled island somewhere out there, made entirely of 'missing socks'. 

So, with the funds donated by those who entered the Zakhele Rhodes Public School 'Wild Card' competition we will be matching the donation from Apula, ensuring every pupil will receive two pairs of socks.

There will also be tins and tins and more tins of shoe polish! .... and brushes, lots of brushes!

Thank you everyone who contributed and assisted with this project.

Apula is a long-time supporter of the Rhodes Run and the Zakhele Rhodes Public School. Thank you.

We are so very blessed to have wonderful organisations and individuals assisting us support the local schools and the vulture restaurant.

Last year, thanks to the generosity of our runners, we were able to donate heaters for every classroom at the Zakhele Rhodes Public School.

This has made a huge difference in the lives of the children, many of whom walk a long way to school in sub-zero conditions on winter mornings.

This year we are incredibly excited and absolutely thrilled to be able to make a massive difference to the children's daily lives.

Apeco, leading South African footwear material and leather supplier, is being incredibly generous and is donating a new pair of school shoes for each and every child at the Zakhele Rhodes Public School.

A new pair of school shoes for every child. This is a really impactful donation that will definitely bring a skip in their step.

The children will be stepping out with a smile!

Thank you Apeco for this massive act of kindness.

There was a fantastic response to the Rhodes canned food Wild Card competition.

The draw was carried out earlier today by David Robertson, MD of PKF (who is a Rhodes Snowflake number holder) ...

.. and our very excited winner is Ronaldo Rautenbach.

Congratulations Ronaldo, you will receive a complimentary Wild Card invitation to the 2015 UTi Rhodes Run, a Rhodes Food running top and a Rhodes canned foods R500 voucher.

Well worth an email!

Thank you everyone who entered, and a special thank you to Rhodes canned foods for making this Wild Card possible.

The four items which proved to be the most favourite 'favourites' in the competition were ... sweet corn, strawberry jam and apricot jam, with the stand-out winner ... Rhodes baked beans.
