The Darling Trust
Education in Darling

We aim to empower individuals to help themselves, mainly through participation in the sectors of education, skills development and health.

THE DARLING TRUST is a charitable trust that assists the Darling community. The Darling Trust has grown and expanded over the years with focus on the wellbeing of the Darling community. The mission of The Darling Trust is to support the Darling community by empowering individuals in Darling and the surrounding areas primarily through education, skills development, health care and community outreach programs. Work with the local community in the identification of community needs and to address those needs by creating feasible projects or by supporting existing projects through funding or managerial or logistical assistance. Act as a vehicle for the funding of community projects in Darling. In 2011 our brand new Grade R class opened its doors to a further 26 eager learners.

Our training courses included leadership camps, life skills, report writing, communication, attitude, confidence, teamwork and office ethics. we will miss Kotie’s constant emails and many many to-do lists and caring. We assisted Dept Social Development with their workshops and events. We enjoyed assisting at the Voorkamerfest, SPCA and our first classical music experience at the DMA concerts. We recommend that all matriculants should have Skills Development Training, which will certainly improve their employability. We feel confident that we will be an asset to any employer. We are very proud of our achievements and grateful for the many experiences. Last year the Department of Cultural Affairs and Sport approached The Darling Trust, to be the implementing agent for the EPWP (Expanded Public Works Programme) Internship.

Who’ll be able to moan and groan between mouthfuls of walnut balls and pampoenkoekies, or baked apple clowns? Truly, there’s nothing like a generous helping of rabbit in red wine or guinea fowl with sultanas & hanepoot to bring forth brotherly love. Evita is always well prepared and includes recipes for diabetics and vegetarians, Halaal and Kosher dishes, and even recipes to keep as fit as she does. Whether she entertains her grandchildren, caters for a picnic or plans a Christmas menu, Evita cooks up a storm. Unfolded, the dust jacket is a laminated full-colour poster. From the Cape to Limpopo, the West Coast to our president’s home province, come divine platefuls: guineafowl with prunes, potroasted quail, quince bredie and orange duck. My liewe aarde, just paging through the book is a mouth-watering experience, with all these pictures taken on her visits.
