He also expressed gratitude for the donation, stating: \u201cWe are incredibly grateful for this generous gift. Having our own cricket nets will allow our students to practise more regularly and safely. It will also help us to develop a stronger cricket programme and provide more opportunities for our pupils.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The donation is expected to have a positive impact on the school\u2019s sporting performance and the overall well-being of its students.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>According to Daneel Steinmann of Old School clothing, the donation was a collaboration between his company and Hope Explosion Youth Ministry (Hey!).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWe\u2019re incredibly proud to be part of this donation and trust that it will have an everlasting impact on the school.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>His mom, Celeste Steinmann, runs HEY! and offers a number of activities on a regular basis at the school, including Bible classes and upliftment programmes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWho knows, maybe the next Protea will come from this school,\u201d she quipped.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div contenteditable=\"false\" data-embed24=\"Images\" data-pos=\"middle\" id=\"embed_06f0a4f3\">\n<div class=\"slide\"><img
