Thank you Donsure for sponsoring 40L of paint towards our Transforming Tarka project. We managed to finish the unpainted wall in the main road today and will continue to paint the rest of the lamp poles.

Thank you Winterberg Ladies for your kind donation towards labour. It is such a blessing.

The first 8 poles and the wall's paint was sponsored by The Studio Bloemfontein.

Thank you all!!

Happy Spring Day from all of us The Story. May this new season only blossom for you and everyone around you!!
