Learners from Randeor School donated 25 trolleys to the three Frances Vorwerg Grade R classes.

FRANCES Vorwerg is a school for learners who live with Cerebral Palsy and have specific learning challenges.

They cater for learners from the age of three.

Lately, they have been blessed by different parents in the community and institutions.

One of the learners, Lesley-Anne Peters, was handed a brand new electric wheelchair which was sponsored by members of her church community and local gym.

A member of the local community in Alberton sponsored Eco-Solutions, who, in return, donated two barbets nests, an owl box, and a bat box.

These nests and boxes were put up at the school and learners were advised not to ever kill or harm these beautiful and most necessary species in their own ecology systems at home.

Frances Vorwerg School is challenging other schools to do the same and to get their own bat boxes, owl boxes and barbets nests, so that more owls, bats and barbets can be seen at schools and children can be educated as to why these species should be protected.

Boys pay it forward

Junior Boys from Randeor School, a school for learners from 13 and older, just down the road from Frances Vorwerg, also contributed to the joys of the school.

These boys are extremely talented in woodwork which they learn in their skills centres at school.

They made trolleys with different geometrical wooden shapes in them.

Twenty-five of these trolleys were handed over by Johnny Botha to the three Grade R classes of Frances Vorwerg School.

This is how you can help

Frances Vorwerg is in great need of sponsorships and is urging the community and businesses to donate children, teenage and adult clothes.

They also need monetary pledges for the dilapidated parking area which is lately totally inaccessible for the children in wheelchairs.

The school is also in need of bicycles which they need for exercising their learners who are learning to walk. All sizes of bicycles are welcome.

Contact Anandi Spies at the school: 011 683 3390 for pledges and donations for the requested needs.

Frances Vorwerg School is a green school and they recycle everything at our school.

They are asking the community to bring all their bread tags, tin foil inner rolls, plastic bags, two-litre plastic milk bottles, all sizes plastic cool drink bottles, ice cream buckets, yogurt containers, margarine containers, magazines, newspapers, egg containers, tins, clothes, towels, wool, material, buttons, and even old cooking pots for their sandpits.

“We believe that we should keep most rubbish out of the sea and save our planet by recycling these containers rather than let these rubbish contaminate our oceans,” Anandi added.
