In October, the Du Toitskloof Fairtrade Initiative had the privilege to be visited by Bernsdorf Blaasorkes, a talented Dutch youth music group, who brought the universal language of music to Lorraine NGK Primary School. Their visit, which included a lively workshop with the Grade 6 and 7 students, was a celebration of creativity, learning, and cultural exchange.

Transport is vital for the mobility and well-being of staff, children, and members of the Fairhills Association (DTK Fairtrade Initiative).
