The Deputy Minister of International Relations visits our school

Well, Friday 13th August was an exciting day for us. Earlier in the year, during the time of the Haiti earthquake, we wanted to do something for Haiti but didn't quite know how to make a difference. Our librarian had the great idea of letting the children perhaps come to school in their casual clothes during the month of February, and each day they did this they could make a donation to the Haiti fund. The children loved this idea! We raised R40,000. We didn't quite know how to get this money to Haiti, but the government came to our aid and the Deputy Minister and her entourage came to the school to collect the donation.


It was very exciting for us. These are some extracts from the TV newscasts of the event.
