Besides raising much-needed funds for the school, Hermanus Primary aims to use this event to promote local businesses and the experiences they offer. “We hope the event will encourage more people to visit our beautiful area,” says Gr 5 teacher and one of the organisers, Niel Botha. “As a community we need to support each other during these unprecedented times, which is why the hashtag for the event is #sterkersaam (#strongertogether).” The live stream starts at 18:30 on Friday, 6 November on Facebook (@lekkerwoes) and YouTube (Woes). The prizes for the raffles will only be announced on that Friday.
