Students gardeners for a day
A brand-new garden awaits the children of Baby Moses Child Sanctuary.
Every other day is about numbers and business plans for local business students, but 2 October had something different in store.
About 20 UniCollege students came with veggies and flowers and shovel in hand, ready to revamp the Krugersdrop Baby Moses Child Sanctuary’s backyard garden.
“We wanted to grow vegetables and flowers in the garden, but we were never able to do so because something else always had to be done first,” Christo de Klerk, the sanctuary’s co-founder said.
Between the swings, slides and green grass, the vegetable garden was ready to bloom yet again.
UniCollege’s students planned on making life a bit easier for the caretakers of the sanctuary’s home of seven children by doing the little things that is sometimes very hard to get done otherwise.
Natalie Franklin, UniCollege’s marketing manager, told the News the students try to do as many charitable projects as they can each year.
“They bought all the plants and vegetables and made sure they had soil and gardening tools to do the job,” she said.
By the end of the day, Baby Moses’ children had a brand new garden to look forward to as they finished the school term.
