At a recent visit to Meredale Primary School by Manny de Freitas, Member of Parliament for Johannesburg South found that the school Media Centre lacked books for the few hundred primary school children. “We immediately looked around for sponsors so that we could assist the school in obtaining the much needed books,” explained Manny de Freitas. De Freitas said that in conjunction with the kind cooperation of Rotary International the DA and the DA Youth were able to obtain 200 books for Meredale Primary School.
“The DA Youth wanted to do something for the school as part of their Youth month activities and so helped with finding the books for the school,” said Manny de Freitas MP. Manny de Freitas said that it is common knowledge that he rates education as very important so that our country can develop in every way. “Without educating our children and young people properly we cannot grow economically as a country and create employment,” said de Freitas. De Freitas said that this is why gestures such as these are vital in contributing in solving our education crises.
“New and up-to-date books such as these will assist these young people and also encourage them to read so that they have a good foundation at Primary school level before getting to High School and any other further education,” said Manny de Freitas.
De Freitas that the fact that our DA Youth saw it fit to share his passion and vision for education is even more encouraging.
