Paarl Rotary recently launched a very successful blanket collection campaign in co-operation with Toyota and digital partner Creationary. More than a thousand blankets were collected in co-operation with our Interact clubs at local high schools and distributed to the needy.
Mbeko Eco Club organises events in partnership with other entities like Paarl Rotary to ensure learners are regularly exposed to experts in nature conservation through visits to nature areas, and interaction with professional conservationists.
Brighter sight
For the past few years, Paarl Rotary has annually facilitated the provision of spectacles to needy children. Although there are many children who need glasses due to poor sight, the state waiting list is long. Paarl Rotary now provides spectacles to about 100 children per year. Each year we target a different school, which is visited by a qualified optician who tests the eyes of those children who were recommended for assistance after preliminary testing by the Department of Health. Paarl Rotary sponsors the tests and the spectacles.
Paarl, renowned for its illustrious history and haunting scenery, is situated 57 km from Cape Town in the winelands of the Western Cape province of South Africa. It is dominated by mountain ranges and the large granite outcrop of Paarl Rock, after which our town is named. The first settlers in the 17th century called the rock the Parel (Dutch for pearl) for the way it glistened after rain.
