ZAZI CAMPAIGN

Hospital team adopted Old Mill High

School – Empangeni as its school and

launched the “ZAZI” campaign which

is aims at encouraging children espe-

focus on their future. Boys are also not

left aside as they should support girls

in making their dreams come true by

treating them as their own sisters in

order to reduce the high teenage preg-

nancy rate. Motivational talks given

to learners and the teams went to clas-

ses motivating children to focus on

their careers and distance themselves

from social activities that would de-

stroy their future. After the presenta-

tion that was done, learners were given

green ribbons as a symbol of “ZAZI”

just to commit themselves on improv-

ing their lives and taking good care and

be proud of themselves.

Other than normal

ceived by patients on a

daily basis, High Risk

were so kind to give

soup and bread to all

patients during this spe-

cial day.
