Looking to the future
A surplus of conference bags from the recent IUFoST World Congress of Food Science and Technology, held in Cape Town, have been put to good use: SAAFoST president, Dr Gunnar Sigge, presented the shoulder bags (originally sponsored by Bidvest Food Ingredients) to Mr Malibongwe Guqa, principal of Lourier Primary School in Retreat. They will be given out to Grade 7 pupils at their upcoming prom evening and will also go to other deserving learners.
"It is important for SAAFoST to also support community-based projects, especially as scholars are the future lifeblood of the food industry. Hopefully these shoulder bags will, in a small way, contribute to a positive learning experience for these youngsters. Maybe some of these learners will even be prompted to consider food science as a career," says Dr Sigge.
Mr Malibongwe Guqa (Lourier Primary School principal) and Dr Gunnar Sigge (SAAFoST president) present pupils with the IUFoST Congress bags.
