Ledibohong Primary project a great success

BARRAGE. – “Many people in society say they care while many claim to possess faith in a higher power and many even pretend to care.
But the acid test of these intentions reveal their true source.”
These are the words of Reverend Altus Carstens of the Sasolburg Methodist Church. “Some helped to be seen and noticed by others. Some help because they really care,” says Carstens. Ledibohong Primary is situated about 19km out of Sasolburg. It is a farm school but the community jumped in to help this small school with 47 children and three teachers – from the crèche to Grade 6. There was only one toilet in working condition for all the people on the premises. The doors of the classrooms were broken. There were no toys for the little ones in the crèche and no educational equipment such as balls, skipping ropes, cricket bats, balls and netballs. The community opened their hearts to this project. “When we first started our Ledibohong Project the task seemed impossible but the community came and their contribution made the impossible, possible,” says Carstens. The Benevolence Committee of the church made it possible for them to tell the forgotten people that they are remembered and noticed and even loved.
