The Rotary Club of Paarl has been involved in the upgrading of the Kerith Retreat for mental health in Muldersvlei for the past year. After overseeing the upgrading of the kitchen and laundry and some housing units, the club has launched a food garden and beautification of the entry to the complex. Proudly showing off one of an avenue of lemon trees recently planted are (from left) Mary Louw, president Hester Visagie, Werner Louw (manager of Kerith), Deon Erasmus, projects coordinator, AG Tony Butcher, and Marita van der Sluys. The trees were donated by Stargrow Nursery.
The avenue of lemon trees will improve the approach to Kerith Retreat, and will produce lemons for their own use.
