Eight-hour aquarobics to raise funds
The aquarobics session of the students was held to raise funds for the various community projects, which include an anti-bullying campaign.
The students from Impact GAP2020 took on an aquarobics challenge on February 22.
Altogether, the team stayed in the water for eight hours.
Through sponsors, the students raised funds for the many community projects they are involved in.
“Impact GAP raises up responsible young adults, teaching them many life skills to take into our communities and to help with farming in rural areas to provide food for jobless people,” said Lynn Lopez from Impact Ministries.
“They also teach orphanages to farm to help supply food for their needs.”
One of the biggest projects they are involved in is an anti-bullying campaign.
This is a programme designed to create a paradigm shift in learners and teachers in schools in South Africa.
It is a very costly project and as they do not charge for this service, they rely heavily on raised funds.
They have the MP, Marie Sukers, behind their endeavours, but now need awareness and support from all sectors to get this programme into schools.
As part of the campaign, the students visit schools to do skits and presentations to the learners. They also help the schools to improve their property to make it more conducive to improve the self-worth of learners.
They also assist with counselling and camps for bullies and the bullied and form a discipline structure.
Learners are educated on the dangers of bullying, the effects on society and the friends and families around them, as well as the legal aspect of bullying and cyberbullying.
