Pharmacy Direct makes a difference
Pharmacy Direct embraced the spirit of International Mandela Day (18 July) through a series of events from 18 to 31 July, demonstrating our commitment to making a difference in our communities.
Mandela Day is celebrated every year on the late former President Nelson Mandela’s birthday to honour his legacy, encouraging South Africans to give 67 minutes of their time to help those less fortunate.
Dance competitions and fundraisers
The Pharmacy Direct team organised dance competitions and fundraisers to support our operational staff at the CCMDD and PD Private sites in Louwlardia and Kwartsiet, both in Centurion. These events not only united the team but also raised funds for those in need within our organisation.
Soup kitchens for a cause
A soup kitchen at our PD Private Kwartsiet site provided nourishing meals for our hardworking staff, showing our appreciation for their dedication, and fostering unity within our Pharmacy Direct family.
A visit to The Village Safe Haven
On 31 July, the Pharmacy Direct leadership team paid a visit to The Village Safe Haven, a shelter for abandoned children aged 2 to 18 years. During this visit, we handed over employee donations in the form of Checkers shopping vouchers and food hampers. These contributions will go a long way in supporting the invaluable work being done at The Village Safe Haven.
Honouring Mandela’s legacy
Mandela Day reminds us of the importance of giving back. The dedication and generosity shown by our Pharmacy Direct leadership and staff exemplify our commitment to serving our community and making a difference in the lives of others.
We are incredibly proud of the work done by Pharmacy Direct leadership and staff during this special month. Let us carry forward this spirit of compassion and unity as we strive to make a lasting difference in the world around us. As we look ahead, let’s continue to find new ways to support our community and each other.
We encourage all AfroCentric employees to continue helping those in need. Together, we can create positive change and embody the spirit of Ubuntu – I am because we are.
