HOLVLEI PRIMARY VISITS BUTTERFLY WORLDWith the support of Umoya Energy, the learners of Holvlei Primary School were able to go out on an educational excursion to Butterfly World at the end of last year. Lectures at Butterfly World’s Education Centre are aligned with the school subjects Natural Science and Life Skills, where learners are taught about the habitats and life cycle of different kinds of animals as part of their curriculum. During the excursion, learners received a lesson about the different kinds of animals like spiders, lizards, snakes, tropical fish etc.
The assistance in transport costs was part of Umoya Energy’s Corporate Social Investment.
