Thembelihle Primary School tree relief mural, Howick

Fundraising project for funds to help children from underprivileged situations to attend the school, in Howick, KwaZulu Natal, South Africa.

This is an ongoing project - help raise funds by purchasing a bronze leaf, mild steel leaf or a resin flower to add to the tree. http://www.thembelihleschool.co.za/act/funding/
The mild steel leaves are only R250 each. R2500 for the bronze leaf with your name engraved into it, or Resin flower R1000. But really anything will help so have a look at the link for more information and payment methods.

Thembelihle is the only independent primary school that provides vulnerable children access to a world-class education through our unique, holistic, Christian, values-based approach to teaching and learning."

The Tree is based on an Erythrina Lysistemon - common in KZN and special to the Zulu people. Wonderful red flowers and a distinctive leaf shape. With red seeds known to children as as lucky beans. Read more about this Erythrina and the Zulu culture.
