Thomas More College welcomes Spring by donating vegetable seedlings to be planted in the 1000 Hills community garden.
Durban, South Africa (06 September 2024) – There is just something thrilling about Spring that brings a burst of colour and beauty to the world!
The Junior Primary of Thomas More College celebrated the arrival of the warm and sunny season in a truly meaningful way.
Pupils donated vegetable seedlings to be planted in the beautiful 1000 Hills community vegetable garden.
In a few weeks, many families in that community will benefit from the crops.
Many of the communities within the Valley of a 1000 Hills area are under tribal authorities, underserved regarding public services and generally have low household incomes.
These communities are also typified by high levels of HIV and AIDS and other diseases, high unemployment, many teenage and young mothers and generally inadequate access to services and opportunities that support productive livelihoods, The Valley Trust reports.
The school’s generous act will provide nourishment to families in need, especially those affected by food insecurity and other challenges.
What a heartwarming way to usher in the new season and give back to communities in need.
