Winter Holidays with Heart at Grootbos Foundation

Grootbos Foundation is making this winter holiday one to remember! From warm meals and creative fun at the Masakhane Hub to outdoor adventures in nature, the school break has been filled with learning, laughter, and care.

During the school holidays, the Masakhane Hub has remained a safe and creative space for children in the community. This week, they enjoyed structured activities, free play, and comforting mugs of delicious soup lovingly prepared by Zimasa.
