Lebone Centre Benefits from a District Grant

The Rotary Club of Grahamstown Sunset was thrilled to receive a District Grant again this year.

We applied for the grant to enable the Lebone Centre to install a second merry-go-round in their playground. With 28 preschoolers using the playground in the mornings, and 20 Grade 1-3 pupils who come for after care in the afternoons, there was a need to add to their playground equipment to occupy the children during free play. The children love spinning on the merry-go-rounds, and so the installation of another one has been a welcome addition. President Robyn Cooper handed over the grant to Lebone Centre Director, Jolene Tarr yesterday. The new merry-go-round has already been installed, and Jolene says it is put to good use by the children every single day!
