On 18 July 2017 Adopt-a-School hosted the Back to
School for a Day. Collective at Bathabile Primary School
in Olievenhoutbosch. The Foundation chose to support
Bathabile Primary School this year, as this school has had
no active donors for a number of years, and is in dire
need of support. The school is a quintile 1 (no-fee paying)
school with 1 446 registered learners and no permanent
infrastructure. The school makes use of container
classrooms and container ablution facilities, which are not 6
sustainable in the long-term.

This year, our Mandela Day activities were structured
around Adopt-a-School’s holistic Whole School
Development model and addresses issues related to:
Leadership; Curriculum and co-curricular activities; Social
Welfare and; Infrastructure development.

The success of this initiative was the result of collaboration
and teamwork. The supporting organisations included
Mustek, Triviron, Santam, Pembani, CRF, FeverTree 7
Consulting and CRET. We also partnered with Brainwave
Careers, Dr Dire Thomas, EcoCulture, House of Chess,
Library Key, McDonalds, Olefile Masangane, Prettify my
Township and StopHungerNow in order to career out a
meaningful and sustainable programme.
