Certificate of Appreciation
The first ever Love My School Project was done at Tshegofatsong Special School in Mamelodi East. The School could not help but send us this certificate to thank our team for all the good work.

We came, we saw and we conquered the stereotypes, Love My School is the ultimate cool.
Music is Love
