Sebenza Mediwaste parent gives to Nobel Primary School.
Parents are encouraged to get involved in schools for the good of their own children.
Laerskool Nobel Primary School expressed its gratitude to parents that continuously reach out and help the school in their time of need.
Susan Lerm the departmental head at the school noticed the school needed more refuse bags for waste removal which was too expensive for the school to buy, so she called Aaron Molopa, a parent, who immediately took heed and brought the school waste removal packages.
The deputy principal of the school, Ryno Rheeder said, “Susan Lerm deserves all the praise because she saw a problem in the school and then looked for a solution, without telling anyone about it.”
“She is hardworking and far too a humble.”

Isreal Zitha, the acting principal, said: “Things like refuse bags are easily taken for granted but waste removal is a part of the school budget and it is expensive.”
“The help we got from Mediwaste Packaging and Aaron Molopa reduced some stress from the school because that money can be put back into education.”
Molopa is a parent of a Grade Three learner, Amogelang Molopa, and a sales and marketing manager at Mediwaste Packaging in Sebenza.
“Mediwaste Packaging was looking for ways to give back, and I believe charity begins at home so we decided to give back to the Laerskool Nobel Primary School.”
“We manufacture refuse bags and we know very well that waste is a problem, but people take it for granted.”
“We plan to have a continuous relationship with the school.

“For our next project we plan on installing brackets to hold bins around the schools,” said Molopa.
Rheeder and Zitha extended their gratitude from the school to Molopa.
“It makes a huge difference because we are able to keep the school neat and tidy.
“The only way education can really work is when parents are involved.
“Education is like a stool held up by three legs: parents, the school and the department of education,” said Rheeder.
Parents are encouraged to get involved in school projects for the good of their own children.
The school has made a call to parents who cannot give tangible donations to provide their skills, time and effort because skills are just as important.
Molopa said: “Let us respect waste and teach children about cleanliness. As parents, it is our responsibility to help the community.”
