Feedback from Participants
“Just a short note to thank you for your
exceptional hospitality this weekend on the Rally to Read Mpumalanga 1 Rally.
While this is my first time participating, it is the 9th Rally for our CEO,
Kgomotso Matseke. In fact, it was on his insistence that we participate and I
can certainly say that this is money well spent. I think the fact that READ is a partner, we
can be assured that there is concerted follow-up in terms of how the materials
are recorded, stored and utilised – and especially how they are employed in
class – which goes a long way to addressing the issue of sustainability
surrounding the programme. I would like to take this opportunity to
commend McCarthy on an excellent initiative and wish you every success in the
coming years! Thanks once again for a well co-ordinated campaign and we
sincerely appreciate that we were able to play a small role in a programme
designed to give our children, better foundational skills and the chance of a
better education.” Theresa Griffiths Head: Communication and Corporate Social

'It allowed me to help others shine'
Thanks for another fantastic Rally! I had six new 'Ralliers' with me this year, and they cannot stop talking about it. People here at the office are already reserving their places for next year!
The Rally to Read has allowed me to help others shine – these children are the future of our country and if we leave their lights dimmed, this country will fade into darkness.
