The Crags Primary School building project
Artist’s impression of the complete Assembly Hall for the Crags Primary School.
The owners of the Kurland Estate near Plettenberg Bay have established a Social Responsibility Program to benefit the underprivileged people in their area. The Programme is run on minimalist lines and overseen by their chairman.
One of the projects in the Programme, in addition to two football fields already built in 2007, is the building of an urgently needed Assembly Hall for The Crags Primary (Junior) School in the nearby village. The school has 650 young children, 17 teachers and 3 extra/temporary teachers whose salaries are paid by local residents (R4 000pm).
Construction of the hall has commenced, it will accommodate 550 children for daily assembly, plays, concerts and general recreation, when the necessary equipment for all these activities can be obtained and although substantial donations have been received from the Kurland family, local and overseas donors, further funds are required for this much needed School facility.
The Programme runs projects and on-going programmes which seek to support the school and the under privileged people that need education, housing, feeding, as well as assistance with HIV/Aids, alcohol and drug abuse.
If you are interested in supporting this Programme, please contact Edward Blaine or Peter Reynolds on +27 83 253 1745, peterr@kurland.co.za or speak to one of the managers at the Kurland Estate on +27 44 534 8082 who will give you further details.
The Crags Primary School is a member of the Bitou 10, which is a Non-Profit Organisation focusing on educational upliftment in the Plettenberg Bay area.
