Kids treated to The Rotary Blue Train Park experience
Squeals of excitement and beautiful sunshine set the tone for the 71 children from Isiseko Educare Centre and 65 children from Ilitha Family Learning Educare who were recently treated to a day out at Sea Point's The Rotary Blue Train Park. Most of the children aged between two and five years old had never experienced a train ride or even seen the ocean before.
The children spent hours playing until their hearts were content on the jumping castles, swings, jungle gyms and riding on the famous Blue Train. During the festivities, they were served a delicious lunch and refreshments of Bonaqua water which was sponsored by Peninsula Beverages (PenBev - local bottler and distributor of The Coca-Cola Company products in the Western and Northern Cape).
The Rotary Club of Sea Point organised the outing for the children and made sure it was a day to remember.
PenBev's Corporate Communications Manager, Denise Green, comments, "We have worked with Gavin (Schachat) and his team at the Rotary Club of Sea Point on the Blue Train experience for a number of years, and support the outreach programmes for disadvantaged children. We are privileged to be in a position where we can lend our help to these initiatives and look forward to a long and successful relationship with them."
Many Capetonians and South African's alike remember the heyday of The Rotary Blue Train Park where the miniature train took passengers on a tour of the entire park. Today, the Sea Point institutions' train tracks are in disrepair so the train rides are limited and may not be around much longer for future generations to enjoy.
