Members of the Uitenhage Lions Club recently embarked on a project to beautify and repair the playground at the Langa Community Pre-primary School in Kariega.
In addition to the painting and repairing of play equipment, several educational books and toys were also donated to the school.
“The Lions of Uitenhage decided to get involved in more hands-on projects. All the painting and repair work was done by members themselves. Some of the paint was donated by The Colour Centre in Gqeberha,” said Lions President Donze Landman.
The principal of the school, Xoliswa Nxati, was full of praise for the work done by Lions.
“It is amazing what a difference the restoration of our equipment has made. The joy of the children when they saw the playground brought tears to our eyes.”
The Langa Community Pre-school caters for about 128 children from the surrounding community and provides tuition in Xhosa, English and Afrikaans. Meals are also provided to pupils.
