M


oms are incredibly special
creatures, they always know
exactly what you need even if you
don’t say it. They have superpowers to
help find that lost homework book, their
hugs can turn a bad day into a good one
and their food always seems to taste
delicious no matter what they cook.
McCain South Africa wanted to dive a little
deeper into these little things and recently
visited three schools across the country,

with their new ambassador
Jessi, to see what the children
really wanted to thank their
moms for, how they really
feel about them and all that
they do.

McCain and Jessi visited
Grade 8 classes at Forte
Secondary School in
Soweto, Bryanston High School in
Bryanston and Zonnebloem Nest
Secondary School in Cape Town. At each
of the schools, Jessi, who appears in
McCain’s new TV advert, spoke about how
McCain helped her surprise her superhero,
her mom Nadine. Together with McCain
Jessi created a special dinner to thank
her mom for everything she has done for
her. Like many single moms, Nadine faces
many challenges but works incredibly
hard to support them both and to be the
best mom she can be, so to have a special
thank you from her daughter meant the
world to her.

Jessi chatted to the Grade 8s about her
story, and then asked the classes to share

their stories about their moms in the form
of an essay. Some of the children spoke
about how their moms had sacrificed
things for them so that they could get
a new school uniform, go on that camp
or join the soccer team because she got
them new boots. The stories that came
out really showcased the selflessness
of moms, how they will go above and
beyond to make sure that their children
have everything they need. This is why
McCain is so passionate about saying
thank you to these remarkable women.

There were so many beautiful stories that
they shared, but five really stood out for
all involved. So, McCain has decided to do
something special with those five stories.
The children who wrote the chosen stories
will be able to thank their moms with a
special surprise that McCain South Africa
will help them create.

So keep a look out for more information
on the McCain school activations, the
chosen stories and surprises on McCain’s
social media platforms.
