THERE will soon be a fresh coat of paint on Laerskool DR Viljoen in Holland Park, thanks to a partnership between City Paint and Tool and Algoa Cares, the corporate social responsibility arm of Algoa FM.
The school applied for the donation of 200 litres of Plascon Wall and All paint through an on-air drive broadcast.
“City Paint and Tool wanted to donate paint to any worthy cause. It could have been a school, an orphanage, an old age home, or any well-deserving institution,” said Gavin Biggs, director and co-owner of the business.
DR Viljoen was chosen because of the support shown by the community.
“It is also an honour to be able to contribute to a school that is in need of a lick of paint,” he added.
Speaking at the handover, DR Viljoen principal, Lorna van Zyl, said that special thanks were due to “all our parents who nominated the school for this because we needed it desperately.”
