The Manor and District Civic Association (MDCA) held an awareness campaign on the morning of Friday, 3 June 2011 at 7am at Manor Drive near the Manor Shopping area.
Teachers from Stanger Manor Primary together with approximately a hundred learners braved the wintry morning to get their collective message across.
The learners brandished colourful banners and posters, which came from Stanger Manor Secondary, ML Sultan, Stanger Secondary and Manor Primary, highlighting various issues which included water shortages, earth conservation, drug awareness, crime prevention, good neighbourliness, upkeep of road and verges, keeping the town clean, civic duties and responsibilities to mention but a few.
The learners’ aim was to make the public aware of the issues affecting the community while at the same time calling for their support and cooperation.
The rally attracted the attention of many passers-by including motorists on their way to work. The blaring of hooters, the waving of hands and the shouts of support from the community added to the excitement generated by the awareness campaign.
Evidence of the overwhelming response received on that morning helped convince the MDCA that the community were aware of the benefits of belonging to a civic association.
The MDCA placed on record it’s appreciation to the officials, principal, staff and pupils of Stanger Manor Primary as well as extending their gratitude to the following sponsors: Reetoos Clothing, Randees Electrical, Reliance Printing and Jeewan Makardood.
The winners of the poster competition will be announced soon.
