Angels of Hope, non-profit organisation in Wellington, teamed up with CapeNature during Heritage Month to donate trees to schools and educare centres in their local communities. Chairperson of the NPO, Karel Dampies, says they visited 10 educational institutions and assisted pupils and pre-school children in planting the trees at their schools, all in honour of Heritage Month. Pictured here are organisation members and CapeNature officials during a visit to the Lollypop Educare Centre in Wellington.
