St Martin’s children pampered

HONEYBEE Pre-School, together with members from the Edgewood Student Residence Affairs, hosted a fun day for St Martins Children’s Home on Saturday.

This was part of Honeybee Pre-School’s outreach project which began at the end of last year when a request was made for donations.

“After a meeting with St Martins, a need was seen for school shoes and a fresh coat of paint in the St Anne’s and St Paul’s dormitories at the home. The painting took place on Saturday, 7 April with the help of volunteers from the Student Res and Honeybee,” said Debbie Snyman, Honeybee Pre-School principal.

On Saturday, 14 April, a fun day and braai was hosted at Edgewood for the children.

Snyman thanked Rhona Swanepoel for coordinating both events, Julian King and Thobani Mathobela for organising the sponsorship of the school shoes and the fun day/braai, Paintsmiths Durban and Build It for sponsoring the paints, Tersia from Karooblom for sponsoring the wall decor in the St Annes dormitory.

“We thank all the Honeybee parents who donated food and clothing, Build em Brix for donating balls and puzzles as well as setting up a station at the fun day and the Honeybee staff, Charmaine Reddy, Shona Joseph, Hettie Olofse, Sharlene Govender and Sam Kenward who volunteered their time at the fun day,” she said.
