Life Tree Community Project is blessed on Mandela Day

Life Tree Community Project was truly blessed this year as various partners celebrated Nelson Mandela Day with them.

The non-profit organisation runs a small learning centre for 32 youngsters who require academic bursaries, daily cooked meals, stationery and uniforms.

Relativ Media arrived with vegetable seedlings, gardening tools and smiles, to build a school vegetable tunnel for the 32 children at the learning centre.

The group helped each youngster to build a small vegetable garden from an old tyre and filled it with edible vegetable seedlings. This helps them to understand how food is grown and develop an interest in agriculture.

Relativ Media also sponsored the installation of a new bathroom to the growing Grade R class of Life Tree.

LP Gas SA also paid a visit to the non-profit organisation to plant trees they had purchased for the special day.

LP GAS has been a long-standing partner to the organisation, ensuring that the youngsters, staff and the local community are educated to use gas safely.

RnR, a new local partner arrived later in the day after undertaking a massive shopping spree to outfit the school feeding program and kitchen.

Paint Master stepped in to help out the Grade R classroom with a coat of paint and sealant for the new classroom walls.

Thinus Nortjie from Paint Master arrived to provide expert advice and assistance to ensure the brand new classroom was in top shape for the little ones.

Karen Black and the team from Bergen’s Plumbing donated a fridge to the school kitchen and a second fridge to the organisation’s office.

Black also sponsored a year’s worth of Internet access to the registered non-profit organisation to make sure the office runs smoothly.

Matthew Moya, a local tiler, donated his professional skills to tile the new learning centre.

Moya’s work is outstanding and his creativity using left-over tiles is remarkable.
