Riebeek College Girls’ High School juniors from grade 4 to 7 have had the pleasure of meeting Tania Snyman, a Miss LuisterFM finalist. She has done presentations with them on pet ownership and responsibilities.
LuisterFM is a local radio station. They believe in giving back to the community. All finalists were given a project to collect as much cat or dog food as possible. All donations will be given to Domestic Animal Care, a non profit organization based in Port Elizabeth. Their mission is to assist and educate owners of domestic animals in impoverished and underprivileged areas on how to provide proper care for their pets, to treat injured, ill and infected animals and to arrange for sterilisation.
Tania Snyman believes that owning a pet teaches children responsibility, compassion, respect and trust. Her presentation to the Grade 4s informed them about all the do's and don'ts when it comes to domestic animals. They loved the video clip she showed them and they learnt about Domestic Animal Care through her powerpoint presentation. Most of all, she inspired the learners to make a difference by donating food and other items.
She is running a lucky draw competition with the juniors. For every item of food they bring to donate, their name gets entered. The winner will win 4 Debonairs pizzas to share with 3 friends.
We wish her the best of luck in her journey as a Miss LuisterFM finalist.
