Tronox spokesperson Rebecca Kirvan-Rodgers said she was excited to help Healing School with Bookbuzz.
“Having access to books and reading regularly is such an important experience for growing children, and the ability to read is a vital skill,†she said.
“We know that it is unfortunately not always easy for children to have access to books at home.
“So as we lend our support, we hope we can do our part in fostering a love of reading by giving all the children entering Grade 7 Healing School a book of their own. “
