From January 2010, school children living on Dornier Wine Estate will benefit from an extracurricular programme developed by the Anna Foundation. The programme aims to teach these children important life skills as well as assist and improve their education. By involving these children in the Anna Foundation extracurricular programmes they will be exposed to new opportunities in life. In partnering with the Anna Foundation, Dornier has chosen to invest in these children’s futures.
ANNA FOUNDATION AND THE 3 R’S PROGRAMME:
The “3 R’s: Reading, Running and Right-ing” programme is based on a philosophy of holistic development and a belief in ‘Healthy Body, Healthy Mind’. We are passionate about empowering each child to be able to make positive and uplifiting life choices for future goals and contributions to South African Society. This is being achieved through literacy, sport and life skills programs.
WHY READING?
We appreciate the importance of being a role player in providing an educational service within the farming communities. We acknowledge the challenges faced by the current education system and aim to provide immediate and direct relief for the children with whom we work.
WHY RUNNING?
Sports and Fitness in general has the following direct impact:
Awareness and commitment to healthy and active life style
Greater self worth through accomplishments of personal sports achievements (everyone a winner)
Helps develop anti-drug attitude
Constructive use of leisure time
Improved levels of concentration, control and discipline = impact on school learning results
Development of teamwork and group cohesion
Potential future interest/career in sports
WHY RIGHTING?
The idea of right living refers to right life style, right choices, right attitude, right behaviour: ‘right me’. Hereby all children raised through the programme will truly be worthy ambassadors for their community and their country.
