The South African Rugby Legends Association (SARLA) and Paul Muller, who is the UTi sales manager, have turned the simple act of gift giving into an annual tradition and this year was no different. At the end of June, representatives from both UTi and SARLA turned up at KZN’s holistic orphanage to present it with warm blankets for the area’s needy. They were welcomed enthusiastically by the LIV Village staff as well as the young residents of the village.
Winter Blankets to the Neighboring Villages
The representatives from SARLA and UTi came in trucks laden with two thousand blankets, which were to be dispersed to the needy residents in nearby villages. The generous donation was made possible through the generosity of SARLA’s president, Gavin Varejes. Varejes also serves as the Chief Executive Officer of Richmark Holdings, which is a leading angel investor in South Africa. The CEO of SARLA, Stefan Terblanche, received plenty of help from the young residents as they unloaded the boxes of blankets from the truck together. Until distribution, they are storing the blankets in their own storage facilities.
Entertainment in the School Hall
As a thank you to the group, the children performed dances that they had been practicing and sang songs. Afterwards, the guests met with Tich Smith, who founded LIV. He showed them LIV’s newest promotional video clip and explained the innovative LIV business concept to them. The business profile incorporates mothers and children into the village as shareholders. The day ended with an escorted tour of the entire KZN grounds, headed by the director of marketing, Carita Neethling. The village has grown immensely since the visit from SARLA one year ago, and as it continues to grow, SARLA and UTi plan to be there with continued support.
