Farm Outreach

The Farm Outreach Programme has two apsects.

Firstly, four farm schools (Vleiplaas, Lemoenshoek, Akkerboom and Weltevrede) are visited during term time on mornings once a week by Peter Takelo and Angelo Endley with the help of Interns where a programme involving story-telling, art and craft and sport is delivered.

 

In recent years Peter has encouraged the formation of Riel Dance groups which now has a great and enthusiastic following.

 

In 2019 we felt it was high time the farm youngsters also had the chance to participate in the activities offered at our centre in the village.

 

In consequence we have been bringing in groups of teenagers in the afternoons. They have had access to the computers in the Homework Room and the Eduplay programme, and more particularly to the Jazz, Pottery and Craft Studios where several have shown great promise.
