We arrive at Elim school about 1.30pm after travelling east for about 50 minutes. The weather is managing to hold out as we unpack the vehicles and take the equipment into the schools courtyard.
There's a great turnout here with many parents gathered round to watch as the schools head teacher introduces the sponsors.
Before the children perform their shows Brand & Mandi present the schools teachers with an ongoing pledge of support.
The children read to the group in a mixture of English and Afrikaans.
After the reading has finished the pupils take to the stage to perform a short play. One of the children here is a great actor and very engaging, Using an old bottle as a microphone he thumps the table to get the crowds attention... watch out for this guy he's a natural born actor and I'm sure a future Hollywood star!
Afterwards Brand hands over some of the rally's items, including some sports equipment which is very well received.
The headmaster is also presented with some of the valuable stationary, writing materials and the Rally's pledge of support.
After all the hard work put in by the pupils they are rewarded with a tasty snack of hot dogs. Yum Yum!
Phil from McCarthy has a quick kick around with one of the schools future soccer stars....
Then it's time to leave...
