Parents from Plumtree High Schools have come together in donating school stationery and
accessories to learners who lost all their goods in a fire when the car they were travelling in had an
accident and burst into flames.

lost everything and needed to go back to school.
“Our boys lost everything as their trunks were burnt beyond repair. However parents from Plumtree
High school are assisting the learners by replacing the lost goods. We really appreciate the good job
they are doing. May the good Lord further award them more in all they do in future,” she said.
The boys lost everything when a Toyota Radius, carrying five passengers from Victoria Falls to
