Introduction

JCP 203 is a community outreach project module presented by the University of Pretoria. All engineering students are required to complete this module within the second year of study. After the completion of the project the students must present the outcome to the module co-ordinator.

The purpose of the module is to develop an interpersonal awareness and understanding of social needs and to develop student life skills with the focus on leadership development.

The student team members were:

Ilana Wassenaar:  BEng Industrial

Hesti le Roux:  BEng Industrial

Carienne Strydom:  BEng Industrial

Eon de Villiers:  BEng Mechanical

Louise Schoeman represented the Schoemanskloof Community Initiative.

We initiated the Bambisanane Pre-school Project at the Schoemanskloof Community Centre. After a site inspection we identified that the school urgently needed a kitchen facility. We did not only complete the kitchen, but also renovated an old room as a dining room and painted the ablution facilities.

By completing this project the children’s quality of life raised considerably and the school’s facilities complied to the governmental health regulations.

May our project also inspire you.
