Clover Visitor’s Centre is open for public tours, four days a week, offering educational tours free of charge to hungry minds.
Clayville, Midrand – Prof Elain Vlok believes in the infinite beauty of learning, and that learning is essential to our being. The need to empower youth for a better tomorrow is a key focus at the Clover Visitor’s Centre because as food nourishes our bodies, information and continued learning fuels our minds.
Lifelong learning is a vital tool for everyone. That’s why uplifting and empowering the youth is at the heart of the Clover Visitor Centre’s vision and mission, which in turn inspired the opening of this centre to the public.
“We believe that investing in people and societies is the key to a sustainable future. By continuously teaching others and giving them the tools to learn, we are enriching the lives of our youth,” explains Prof Elain Vlok, Clover’s Manager of Corporate Services.
The educational and insightful tours offered at the centre have something to offer for everyone, catering to children as they learn about where milk comes from and to older students too, as they are taught about how Clover products are made. The main aim of the tours is to educate the youth in a fun and engaging manner because Clover believes that the story of milk, where it comes from and its numerous benefits, is a story worth telling. What makes the educational session even more fun for the youth, is the product tasting experience post the tour, followed by fun games and entertainment.
