Friends of Edendale: You can also help!

FASHION SHOW - TICKET SALES

We sold a total of 55 tickets at R250 each and made a total of R1570 on the raffle. So, with another 2 copies of the White Corollas' DVD sold, we will be able to pass the Edendale school a further R15,720! Watch out for photos of the grass being planted very soon.

COMMEMORATIVE DVD AND DONATIONS GET US CLOSER TO OUR GOAL!

As a result of sales of the White Corollas' DVD and donations, we have now raised a further R7,500 in June/July.

We can now plant a total of 1,665 square metres!

EASY WAYS TO SUPPORT EDENDALE SCHOOL:

1.Obtain a Woolworths Card

Woolworths Supporting the Edendale Sports field!

Great news! Woolworths will donate up to 1% of any purchases you make to the school of your choice, so it’s got to be worth it. Edendale is on the list of approved schools. It appears as the Doxa Deo Edendale, Zambesi and Cullinan Road (Ref: No. 3125).

If you would like to participate, you may apply for the card by simply going into the store. Request a card with a sticker on the front, and an application form. You can then return the completed application form with the sticker attached back into the nearest Woolworths. Once this is done, just present your card everytime you buy groceries or clothes (or even gas/petrol at Engen stations) and they will add credit to the school. Easy!

Who we are

Friends of Edendale (FOE) is a group of committed people willing to make a difference in the community. The Friends of Edendale had the opportunity to visit the Edendale Independent School near the Mamelodi area in Pretoria and were impressed with the work and dedication to the children attending the school. However, FOE realized that much more could be done and it was within its power to spark change.

After getting a tour of the school and its facilities, Sonnika Greyling, the Marketing Manager explained their philosophy:

"to develop a school which offers creative ways to bring out every child’s hidden talents and to discipline with love."

After witnessing a moving performance by one of the school choirs, the Friends of Edendale Group was formed and committed to make a difference since every child we met exuded joy.

Please join us to help spark change!

Our Goals

Edendale is not only a school, they also have two orphanages and a hostel for boys and girls. There are many needs at this school : one of which is a sports field at the high school. The pitch is already leveled and they have already raised the money to cover 4,000 square meters of grass. There’s only 6,080 square meters to go!

Our goal is to raise funds before the end of 2014. Every square meter of grass costs 80p (or $1.40) including transport. Every £8/$14 would lay 10 square meters.You can make a difference to this school. Make your money count! If you'd like to kick start this project and make the Grass Greener for this school please donate via the How you can help page above. Alternatively, if you'd like to see details of further events and see how we are getting on with our project please complete the 'Follow by email' contact box below. .
