Timbavati Foundation Environmental School (Continued)
Arts for Animals
This drawing exercise has been introduced in order to strengthen the artistic
tendencies in the learners. If a exercise is found to be relaxing, entertaining and
interesting, the mind is opened to accept the principle behind it. In this particular
case it is the awareness and protection of our wildlife that is brought to the
fore. Together with our existing t-shirt painting exercise, we have a great combination
to bring out these capabilities in the learners we facilitate.
Community Upliftment and Conservation
Sanitation Projects
For many of us the availability of hygienic and safe toilet facilities are taken for granted. However
the vast majority of outlying local schools have facilities that are truly shocking. Not only are they
unhygienic but also pose a realistic threat to human life itself.
The Timbavati Foundation could not look the other way when confronted with these situations that
exist within our communities. Although the cost of providing for safe and hygienic toilet facilities is
prohibitive, we have managed to refurbish toilets at Mathebela High School and build a block of
brand new toilets for both boys and girls at Dlumana High School. The goal is to continue to provide
these facilities in the years ahead and we are confident that our fantastic donors will assist us in
this noble cause. The upgrading of these facilities will go a far way in providing dignity and also respect
for the schools in the learners attitude towards them. Thank you so very much for your generous
donations in achieving what we set out to accomplish for this past financial year. This is what
true togetherness and respect for our fellow man is all about. This is where we can also honestly
say that action indeed speaks louder than words.
