The recent fund-raising event, Akwaaba, was a tremendous success with a fantastic attendance.

Parents and students enjoyed the drumming workshop and delicious barbeque.

Mr Clay Osbourne was the coordinator of this event and had this to say “Well done to everyone for being proactive and helping out at the Drumming night tonight. You really came together as a team tonight. Your initiative and willingness to get involved was amazing. Thank you! Thank you to all the parents and everyone who purchased tickets. Your contributions will go toward our service initiates and greatly benefit children in South Africa.”

Well done again on a fantastic effort!
