BRADFORD schools have been invited to donate books to schools in rural parts of South Africa, as part of a competition to learn about farming in the country.
The 2015 Help a South African School competition asks children to learn about fruit farming and the difference it makes to the lives of families in South Africa, and to produce a collage of their learnings. There are two top prizes of £1,000 for winning schools in two school year categories to spend on resources; there are also prizes for two second and two third placed schools.
Schools submit their entry alongside a donation of used books, which are then shipped to South Africa.
The competition is run by South African fruit farmers and is supported by the South African High Commission, based at South Africa House in Trafalgar Square.
Schools can register to be a part of the Help a South African School project for free at helpasouthafricanschool.com The closing date for entering a collage is Friday, May 8, 2015.
