They came, they saw and they splashed about. Approximately 50 children who attend the ACVV’s Clever Kids Academy in Melkbosstrand were treated to a day poolside on Friday.

The children were equipped with inflatable swimming rings and armbands, and were only allowed into the kiddies’ pool at the Ou Skip resort in Melkbosstrand.

The kids have about two weeks’ of ‘school’ left before their holiday starts, said ACVV volunteers Margaret and Pat, who watched them with a hawk’s eye. Clever Kids Academy principal Faiza did the same, as did some other ACVV volunteers.

Ou Skip Resort gave the kids a special discount, and OK Foods owner Bella donated the proverbial wagon load of buns – which eliminated any need for a bun-fight!
