Paint Donation

Kamdebo Primary School were the fortunate recipients last week of a supply of paint and equipment to the value of almost R50 000. This funding is from a project initiated by the MEC for Education, identifying schools in need of a revamp.

Kamdebo was the only Aberdeen school to apply, and principal Willem Säfers was delighted when their application was successful. Mica in Graaff-Reinet were selected by the department as suppliers, and they have also delivered to schools in Willowmore, Graaff-Reinet, Somerset East and Pearson.

Säfers has appealed to the parents of the school to help with the painting, as no funds have been allocated for labour. He feels that this is a chance for the parents, who may not be able to assist the school financially ,to show their support, as many are unemployed and do have the time available to help.
