This year, 70 children from The Little Rose Centre, situated in Soweto, descended on Germiston and ascended into the skies under the guidance of fully trained aerobatic pilots.<\/p>\n
Puma Energy was the major sponsor of the day, and their collaboration with Nashua, Academy Brushware, Rand Airport and Harvard Caf\u00e9, made for an even more pleasant day for the children.<\/p>
The children learnt a bit about aviation through aviation books which were sponsored by Creative Space Media.<\/p>\n On the day, many first-timers strutted with fear towards the planes but emerged from them beaming with excitement.<\/p>\n Kholeka Ndlovu was among the first timers.<\/p>\n Though she was nervous because of her fear of heights, she soon built up the courage and was determined to conquer her fear, grabbing the opportunity to fly as it was presented to her.<\/p>\n \u201cIt was awesome,\u201d she exclaimed when she made it back to the caf\u00e9 from the runway.<\/p>\n The day ended on a cheery note when Father Christmas made an appearance at the Christmas party, carrying gifts for the children, filled with gadgets, books and sweets.<\/p>\n \u201cWe offer live-in services to orphans, and after school programmes open to the community,\u201d said Noluthando Magudulela, a volunteer at The Little Rose Centre.<\/p>\n \u201cField trips like these where children leave Soweto to experience once-in-a-lifetime excursions are good because they get to experience other facets of life and create memories.<\/p>\n \u201cMost of us here today did not know much about aviation, but we\u2019ll leave here with more knowledge of flying and aeroplanes.\u201d<\/p>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/germistoncitynews.co.za\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/31\/2018\/11\/46GCNGENERALLION_78118-520x390.jpg\")
