Marina Rathe, principal of THS and the students thanked AfriForum for choosing their school and said wisdom is planting a tree knowing that you will never sit in its shade.
AfriForum Springs celebrated Arbor Month by planting trees at the THS Springs on Friday morning.
Over the last couple of years, AfriForum Springs used the opportunity to plant trees at some of the local schools in our community.
Swart says this year they picked THS Springs and AfriForum members joined learners, teachers and workers from THS to plant the trees.
