Tenikwa maintenance team got stuck in at the Kurland Edu-Centre in Kurland Village to clean up the playing area which was overgrown. Now the children have a nice, newly mowed area to play outdoors in the great sunny weather we are experiencing in Plettenberg Bay this summer.
Have a look at the Before and After photo’s to see what a difference it made. (And if you have an old lawn-mower lying around that you no longer use, please consider donating it to the Kurland Edu-Centre.)
Several individuals and organisations have got together to donate items for the Kurland Edu-Centre which is in desperate need of some pretty vital things like toilet paper, crayons, basic dried foodstuffs.
