According to Mr Gerard de Waal, an educator @ Rusthof PS, the learners bring every 5cent coin they can find to build this Tower of Hope. Presently it is being constructed in the library adjacent to the Khanya LAB - an EIAWB would just be the final touch to complete the ICT Facility at the school to view the Tower on an EIAWB !! This is the 4th year they are accomplishing this mammoth task and WIN with it - "FOR THE SCHOOL".....
The present tower as on the photo (not finished yet, the ceiling is awaiting its arrival) is made up of 50 000 x 5cent coins and the bags are still pouring in with 5c coins !! What is sometimes so little and worth almost nothing to so many for us, to the learners of Rusthof PS every 5c counts to build a dream - a dream to help someone ELSE !!
The dream .....? The money is going to an organisation in the Helderberg - PATCH (Prevention And Treatment of Child Sexual Abuse). What could they have done to improve facilities at their own school with the money they so eargerly collected ? NO, to them it is also important to plough back - is to give back to the community, their friends and to a "bigger picture" - caring for people out there whose need is just and even bigger as their own needs !! I would like to see that this Tower of Hope will bring an EIAWB of Hope into that room so that they can view the Tower in motion !!
