EARLIER last month, one of Deutsche Schule Durban’s learners, Bashie Visser, celebrated his birthday in a unique and heartwarming way.

“Thanks to the generosity of guests and supporters, Bashie was able to donate a significant amount of food to Feeding the Furballs, contribute to Nick Evans’ wildlife conservation efforts, and provide baby milk for Monkey Helpline,” said Ellen Botha from the school.
“This celebration exemplifies the values we hold dear at Deutsche Schule Durban in Cowies Hill: community, compassion and a drive to give back. And remember, you don’t need to be German or even speak German to join our school – anyone can learn German and gain an invaluable skill that opens doors to global opportunities,” she said.
