BIG-HEARTED LITTLE OREFILE MOGOROSI IS ON A GOOD SCHOOL SHOES DEED FOR MANDELA

Kimberley’s eModels Agency’s baby model Orefile Mogorosi undertook a big-hearted mission of donating 30 pairs of schools shoes to underprivileged learners of Galeshewe’s Sol Plaatje Primary School as part of the Nelson Mandela International Day.

Having committed herself to the charitable act of collecting school shoes in her participation in the Miss Petite Vrystaat Art Festival and as assisted by family members, Orefile successfully lobbied support through financial assistance and direct new shoe purchasing by members of the public

“We are hoping that this initiative would become an on-going charity drive. Together with Orefile’s mom, we targeted Sol Plaatje Primary School as this is also a way of ploughing back in that our educational foundation took off from this school.

“The school administrator Phuti Mocumi gave us an account of the situation at hand and we decided to focus our energies towards extending a helping hand,” enthused Orefile’s aunt Dipuo Namane.

The school’s Principal Patrick Mangate was equally excited. “What impressed me most is that the parents of little Orefile have planted a seed of giving. If all parents can do this and motivate their children, South Africa will become a better place to live in. We highly appreciate what she has done for our school,” said the inspired principal.

Mandy de Klerk, the co-chief executive officer at Orefile’s modeling agency eModels, had also taken to expressing her delight. “One of her charities is collecting school shoes for the underprivileged. We at eModels Kimberley are very proud of this little princess.”

Orefile garnered the Miss Personality tittle at the Bloemfontein pageant held earlier this month.
