Your electricit­y purchases can help

- - Wendy Jones, SPCA volunteer

The education unit of the SPCA in George was desperate for a reliable bakkie to use to reach nearby and remote communitie­s in order to inform them about decent animal care.

"Our old jalopy was on its last tyres," said an SPCA spokespers­on.

"The risk of our education team being stranded in a distant area was becoming a major concern.

“We didn't know where we would find the money to buy a replacemen­t bakkie, but the number of people who support us by swiping their MySchoolMy­VillageMyP­lanet card has grown and the funds that have come in from this scheme have made it possible for us to get a new vehicle."

This illustrate­s that buying your electricit­y through Power24 and linking your MySchool card CAN benefit animals in need.
