Athlone school for the blind - help needed!
Hi Guys (and Gals!)
I recently (through the company I work for) visited the Athlone school for the Blind, and was shocked at the state of the school buildings.
For starters, the outside of the buildings could do with a GOOD scrape and a decent coat of paint.
As for the melamine wall coverings, there are large pieces that have long since let gravity take its toll.
What I'm saying is that I need ideas (and willing hands!) to make a difference to this situation.
I am willing to listen to any ideas brought forward.
Thanks in advance!
You can also mail me on theunisv@iburst.co.za

Re: Athlone school for the blind
Perhaps someone has a friend on the forum that owns a paint shop that can assist? To sponsor some paint....or material required?
What is all required? Paint, melamine?

OOOOMS
Yes, definitely paint, and I would imagine some sandpaper and paint scrapers..... for starters.
I'm sure if I can round up enough willing Hilux hands in the Western Cape, those same Hilux hands would bring ladders as well....
Looking forward plenty names on a list:
1.
2.
3.
4.
5.....20+?

Re: Athlone school for the blind
Sure you will get a number of chaps willing to put some effort into this project
Would it be possible to post some pics of the buildings? To get an idea of the work involved?

Re: Athlone school for the blind
What about some sort of raffle for the collection of funds for the materials?

Re: Athlone school for the blind
Theunis, hoe groot is die gebou? Ek het n kontak vir verf - dit sal nie verniet wees nie maar ons sal dit vir n goeie prys kan kry. Wil jy binne, buite en op die dak verf? Laat weet en ek sal kyk wat ek kan doen.

Re: Athlone school for the blind
Harry,
for starters seker eers buite want dit lyk die slegste! Die melamine binne sal veel meer werk verg op die stadium.
Ek gaan probeer fotos kry deur die loop van die week, en sal dit post so gou moontlik.
Baie dankie vir al die belangstelling sover!

Re: Athlone school for the blind - help needed!
Wat is jou idee van wanner wil jy dit doen. Gaan dit 'n Saterdag byeenkoms wees met 'n lekker wors braai soos ons werk of soek jy mense wat deur die week kan kom help.

Pieter
Dit sal seker so 'n Saterdag (of 2!) verg, afhangende van hoeveel hande kom help, want baie van die "overhangs" onder die dak, sal eers afgekrap moet word voordat dit geverf sal kan word.
Sal binnekort fotos kan opsit om 'n beter idee te kan gee. "Watch this space!"

Re: Athlone school for the blind - help needed!
Sal ons high pressure water kan gebruik om die overhangs te doen? Ek het al gesien mense doen dit so, heel effektief. Ek sal ook nie omgee om by so iets betrokke te raak nie. Al wat ek kan aanbied is my hanne, maar dit iets :-)
SFA named Roy has arrived. Let the games begin!

Re: Athlone school for the blind - help needed!
Ek het darm 'n 3m alu leer wat verleng na 5m of gesplik kan word in twee 6m's.
Kom waar is die ander manne, gaan ons die HILUX CLUB naam daar omhoog hou of gaan dit net 'n paar hilux bestuurders wees.

Re: Athlone school for the blind - help needed!
Ooooh, my ouers het 'n leer wat ek kan leen. Ok, ek het hanne, 'n Karcher high pressure thingy en 'n leer. Ok die Karcher en die leer is my ouers sin, maar die Hilux is myne so daar. Indien dit nie op 'n weird tyd val nie kan ek miskien van die tieners hier by die kerk ook inspireer om te kom help.
As ons die ding mooi doen is daar 'n paar projekte hier in my valley waar ons die Hilux klub se naam kan hoog hou.

Re: Athlone school for the blind - help needed!
Ek het 'n paar fotos geneem toe ons laaste daar was.
Dit lyk my die hostelgeboue (aan die agterkant van die erf) is die wat die mees afgeleef is.
Dis moeilik om dit op 'n foto vas te le maar die geboue het duidelik aandag nodig, en ek dink verf is net die eerste stap.... Veral die geute en dakke lyk afgeleef.
Vensterrame en die "overhangs" is egter die gedeeltes waar dit die mees opsigtelik is.

Re: Athlone school for the blind - help needed!
Tx Theunis, lyk my daar is heelwat werk, maar die Hilux ouens is mos nie ban vir bietjie werk nie.
As daar genoeg hande is sal dit seker 'n naweek vat vir die voorbereiding?
Lekker projek vir die nuwe jaar?

Ja Mark
Ek stem saam - mens moet meeste maak van die goeie somerweer aangesien dit buite werk is.
