<strong>August</strong> 8, <strong>2017</strong> - Bathabile Primary <strong>School</strong> is a farm school situated<br />
in Olievenhoutsbosch, Centurion. This school that caters for over 1<br />
400 learners received a much needed upgrade on Saturday 5 <strong>August</strong>.<br />
Employees and loved ones from Volkswagen<br />
Group South Africa (VWSA)<br />
gave their support and time to The<br />
Volkswagen Show of Hands Volunteer<br />
Programme which is an ongoing initiative<br />
under the Volkswagen for Good<br />
campaign.<br />
Bathabile Primary <strong>School</strong> is in a very<br />
poor community in Centurion that<br />
experiences extreme poverty and<br />
high levels of unemployment. A large<br />
majority of the learners come from<br />
migrant families and/or child-headed<br />
households. The school caters for<br />
learners from Grade R to Grade 7 and<br />
has no formal infrastructure - all classrooms<br />
are containers.<br />
It was decided to start with upgrading the grade R classroom and<br />
play area facilities as well as creating a library, reading corner and<br />
planting a vegetable garden. The current classroom containers and<br />
play areas for the Grade R’s received repairs and a bright, fresh<br />
coat of paint.<br />
The planting of the vegetable garden will allow the school to supplement<br />
the food they prepare for the children and allow them to
