School project leads to volunteering work

A school project has led three Grade 10 girls from Afrikaanse Hoër Meisieskool in Pretoria to get involved in the AIDS/HIV campaign. Suzanne Jordaan, Madene Marais and Lizaan Schwartz (all 15) spent a day at the Mohau Centre where children aged 2 to 12 years with HIV/AIDS are treated. This was done during the recent school holidays as part of their life skills class. The girls managed to get sponsors for a microwave oven, toys, clothing and food, which they took with their visit. They dressed up as clowns to bring smiles to the 42 children. If you can help the girls carry on their good work, contact Betsie Jordaan at 082-767-8504.
