We regard education as the foundation for prosperity”.New look“The donation was made last year, and we finished the job this year. The paint was aimed at painting the school outside, but there was more than enough so we also painted the classrooms inside,” Deon Cloete, Acacia Primary School’s acting principal, said.Trishaa Chaune, a grade one teacher at the school, was delighted about its new look. “I can’t wait for the second semester, for the learners to step into classes that look good,” she added.The trust focuses its efforts and resources on rural communities, with particular emphasis on the southern, coastal and eastern parts of the country. Project administrator Ariah Mokomele said they aim to accommodate members of the community in various ways. “We aim to meet the needs of all members within the community in different ways; the youth who require access to educational facilities; the adults who need skills to generate other forms of income, and the senior citizens,” she said.
