Redhill School learner Inia Natarajan showed great commitment and passion for her community.
The Grade 12 learner recently completed the gold standard of the President’s Award through the Duke of Edinburgh Award.
The President’s Award is an internationally recognised youth development programme that encourages participants to develop themselves in multiple areas, encouraging a balanced lifestyle.
It requires a great deal of dedication and participants who complete the award join a community of international award holders.
Inia completed her service by dedicating time to the organisation Animal Ark and knitting squares for the Union of Jewish Women.
“The Union of Jewish Women thanks you [Inia] for your wonderful donation of knitted squares, which the gogos in Alexandra, who attend our daily feeding scheme, sew together to make beautiful blankets,” said the union’s Lynne Raphaely.
Inia was also pushed out of her comfort zone when she learned how to play a new instrument, and participate in karate and running for her skills component.
Redhill School fully supports the initiative as it reflects the care that the learners have for the broader community, the courage to try something challenging and the commitment to follow through.
