Land Rover owners and Lewis Stores have supplied the Dagbreek School in Windhoek with kitchen appliances worth more than N$30 000.
STAFF REPORTER
On 8 August 2018, representatives of Land Rover Owners Namibia (LRON), Gundula Perry and JC Kruger, together with Francois van Schalkwyk and Allen Straus of the Lewis Store Group, met with headmaster Paul du Plessis of Dagbreek School, a school which caters for intellectually challenged learners from all backgrounds.
Land Rover Owners Namibia (LRON) has been involved with Dagbreek School for the past two years as a social responsibility initiative. This year, the LRON members donated approximately N$30 000 towards the planned Dagbreek Feeding Programme.
With these collected funds, the school had requested kitchen appliances and equipment in order to start providing meals for the children. The Lewis Store Group offered LRON a generous discount for the purchased appliances.
This consisted of a large chest freezer, a four-plate hob, an eye-level oven, an extractor fan and a large electric urn. LRON’s assistance for the school was further supported by the Lewis Store Group’s donation of another large chest freezer and fridge, a large microwave oven and eight kettles.
With a further purchase of a bain-marie, LRON could equip the Dagbreek school kitchen with most of the appliances required for the feeding programme.
Dagbreek School is anticipating that once the feeding programme is up and running smoothly, the kitchen will also be used for hospitality training, adding to the vast variety of training programmes the school has implemented in order to equip the learners for adulthood and possible job opportunities.
