Tekkie Tax Day - by Moira Dahlan

On the 27 May PCS participated in the Tekkie Tax Day.
Tekkie Tax is an annual fundraising campaign for a large mix of carefully selected welfare organisations, schools and institutions in South Africa.

The school was filled with all kinds of tekkies in every colour of the rainbow. The children paid R10 to wear any funky coloured tekkies and to get a sticker on which ever charity they have chosen. We had a choice between Education, Animals and Children. Each sticker had the charity you have chosen and a picture which was related to the charity, for example the animal sticker either had a horse, a cat, a dog, a rhino or a monkey. You could also have bought one of their funky shoelaces to put on your shoe.

Tekkie Tax is a fun way to help charity and raise money, so if you didn’t participate in Tekkie Tax I suggest you should try it next year because it’s not only a good thing to do but you could show off your new pair of kicks to all your friends!
