Welcome to The Darling Trust Blog!

The purpose of this weekly blog is to keep you up-to-date on the various happenings, events and developments at The Darling Trust. The Darling Trust is a relatively small NGO situated in the town of Darling in South Africa, but do not let our size fool you. We are pas-sionate about our work and play an active role in our community.

This week we have been busy preparing for the Study Week to take place next week. Be-tween 13 and 17 October, every afternoon from 14h00 to 18h00, at Darling Fokus, volun-teers will help any learners in need of extra assistance before exams start. It is the first time that we have coordinated such a programme and as such along the way we are learning a number of valuable lessons. Our future plans for The Darling Trust include ex-panding our educational projects - something that all of us at The Darling Trust are very passionate about. I will report back on the Study Week next week and fill you all in on the details!

Last week, the newly formed Rotary Club of Darling held a fundraiser in Cape Town. We were celebrating a truly magnificent occassion - Evita Bezuidenhout’s birthday! What a great event! Fun was had by all and we are very appreciative of the Darling Rotary Club’s hard work in putting the event together. A big thank you must also go to Pieter-Dirk Uys for so generously giving of his time.

Well, that is all for this week. Take care and remember to check back here next week for more news!
