WATCH: Breakfast team comes bearing gifts for Mangethe Primary Book
"Bringing a smile to those kids meant everything to us" - Darren Maule.
Remember when the Breakfast team received a Big Favour plea from East Coast Radio's 'African Story Magic' podcast sensation Dr Gcina Mhlophe?
Well, the Breakfast team responded in a big way as they delivered on their word of donating books to a school for World Book Day.

World Book Day was on Sunday, 23 April.
According to UNESCO, celebrations take place all over the world to recognise the importance of books.
So the Breakfast team of Darren Maule and Sky Tshabalala, together with the Big Favour, got in a car and went to Mangethe Primary School in Mandeni for a book handover.
Here's a video of how the event went as Mam' Gcina, with the East Coast Breakfast team, made the trip to Mandeni.
In her podcast on ECR, Dr Gcina Mhlophe shares many of the tales you grew up with plus new stories, in order to keep the magic of African storytelling alive for new generations.
She mentioned to Darren and Sky how much she loves the fact that kids in this day and age are able to read and write in their schools.

The Big Favour came together to support Mam' Gcina and decided to contribute R10,000 worth of books.
This contribution was used to distribute to kids as well as young adults for them to read on World Book Day.
We honour Dr Gcina Mhlophe and her efforts to care for kids. We just love it when a Big Favour comes together.
