I received the following appeal from Paul and Bosky Andrews:
“Mandy Zeelie, the inspiration, founder and headmistress of the Vermaaklikheid School, has asked us to help raise funds for the school, which is under financial threat .
Our local dedicated team of loving teachers has been working for R1000 a month and under.
They cannot survive on this but will continue their dedicated work for R2000 a month. We need R10,000 a month for their salaries.
As holidaymakers and visitors, who derive so much joy and restoration from this special little place, we thought it would be really outstanding if we were able to support the school, by providing the teachers salaries, and hence contribute to the long term welfare of the village.
This appeal is to the holiday makers to try to meet the teachers salaries by way of monthly debit orders or (bi)annual donations”
If you’d like more info on the school, it can be found here: Vermaak School Info. Pamphlet
To Whom it may concern
The 28th of June to the 2 July 2011 a group of 6 youths from Cape Town is coming to Vermaaklikheid community do a holiday program with the kids playing interactive games and in the process spreading the word of God. We are in contact with the principal Amanda Zeelie of the ACE school and a resident of Vermaaklikheid, in hope that the mission trip will be a success. I send this email seeking any sort of donation from the local businesses in Vermaaklikheid. Weather money, equipment or food.
Looking forward to your response.
For further information or proof (letter head) of the initiative feel free to contact me Stephanie Bam on 072 616 5046.
God bless you
