Willowridge High School contributes to Madiba Day
On the 28 July Willowridge High celebrated the completion of the '67 Blankets for Madiba Day’ by handing over the completed blankets to three of the school's chosen charities, The Potato Foundation, Heineke House and Protea Retirement Village.
For the past year pupils and staff of Willowridge High School have been furiously knitting and crocheting in their free time. It was decided in 2013 that the school would create 67 blankets by 18 July 2014. With the guidance of Mariana Serfontein this monumental task was achieved.
On the 28 July Willowridge High celebrated the completion of the ’67 Blankets for Madiba Day’ by handing over the completed blankets to three of the school’s chosen charities, The Potato Foundation, Heineke House and Protea Retirement Village. Children from the Potato Foundation were invited to Willowridge to accept the blankets that had been lovingly made by staff and pupils.
Food parcels were also donated by the Willoway SPAR. Preparations are now underway to create another 67 blankets.
