A kitchen environment with mini mountains of sliced bread and slatherings of peanut butter is a world away from the delicate scents of personal care products. An enthusiastic cohort of Canway staff from their Toti facility made that transition and enthusiastically translated what their website describes as a “passion for building sustainable brands” into an exercise building towards sustainable futures for some of the underserved younger members of the community. Leader of the troops that day, Christine Herman, commented, “We have a long-standing relationship with The Domino Foundation’s Nutrition programme in the South of Ethekwini and are aware of the many lives of children from pre-schoolers upwards impacted by the NPO’s feeding initiatives.” She added that, just as Canway is concerned about using the best of natural ingredients for its product ranges, their whole team is fully behind the holistic benefits of the high-protein in peanut butter. “We are all too pleased to be able to partner with Cheryl Dann and the Toti Domino team in getting what they call ‘food for thought’ to these learners.” The company supplied all the necessary ingredients and its diligent staff put in the hard work.
Cheryl added that the 522 sandwiches the Canway team put together would go a long way in helping the Nutrition programme’s commitment to feeding junior and senior primary schoolchildren, and Matrics during the challenging weeks of crucial exams.
