On Friday 30th November and 7th December 2012, Voith South Africa (Pty) Ltd, with the assistance of volunteers and their family and friends, helped with sanding and painting a portion of the handrails at the Ithembelihle LSen School for physically disabled children in Primrose Johannesburg. The school, Voith Turbo South Africa’s corporate social responsibility partner since 2011, has over 200 learners, with physical disabilities such as; muscular dystrophy, spina bifida, cerebral palsy and amputees and also has many learners who board at the school.

According to Penny Burrows, Voith Human Resources Manager, the school is in need of refurbishment to help make the school more suitable for these special needs learners. “We were under the expert guidance of volunteer, Simon Mahlalela and our thanks are extended to him for his time and patience on the project. Aside from the aching muscles, it was fun and a rewarding exercise for our volunteers, without whom this project could not have been completed.”

Burrows extends thanks to everyone who who gave freely of their time to assist with the project as well as to Reeco Engineering and Matthew and Son for their donations of paint and supplies for the project. “A lot of time and effort is being put into this project and it is a true gift to be able to help those in need.,“ concludes Burrows. Voith Turbo, the specialist for hydrodynamic drive, coupling and braking systems for road, rail and industrial applications, as well as for ship propulsion systems, is a Group Division of Voith GmbH. Voith sets standards in the markets energy, oil & gas, paper, raw materials and transportation & automotive.
