Tuinroete Agri Sponsored Learner At Aberdeen Secondary School

Johannes Louw, a 16 year old Grade 10 learner at the Aberdeen Secondary School, has been chosen as the beneficiary of the Tuinroete Agri Group Bursary. On 24 June, Mr Theunis Holthausen on behalf of Agri, presented the Principal Mr Kerneels Kamfer, with a bursary to sponsor a financially disadvantaged and deserving learner with all his/her school criteria. The Principal assisted by the teaching staff made this choice in the new school term.
Johannes Louw is the chosen recipient due to his work ethics and dedicated all round ability to progress academically. Not only is his scholastic record good, his sporting ability at soccer is also progressing well. At present he plays in the local team of ‘Everton United’ under the coach Daniel Pieterse as a midfielder, wearing the ‘Number 6’ jersey. He is a bright and happy young man who is fully aware of the responsibilities that this Bursary carries. Once again Mr Kamfer expressed his gratitude to the Tuinroete Agri Group.
