GEORGE NEWS - In light of World Asthma Day - the first Tuesday in May - local physician Dr Corli Lodder got the Grade 4 learners of Blanco Primary School all excited about the subject through an art competition.
Lodder paid them a visit on Tuesday 10 May to tell them more about the illness and to hand out the prizes. Five learners received a special mention for their winning art work and were presented a Diskonto voucher, while the learners of both Grade 4 classes received a mask and sanitiser, courtesy of Cipla.
The winners are Aiden van Dyck (first place), Ryan Terblanche (second place), Leander Fourie (third place), Analia Steyn (fourth place) and Karlien Bezuidenhout (fifth place).
The prizes were sponsored by Protea Pharmacy (first prize), NAEP (second prize), Glenmark (third prize) and Allergy and Asthma Clinic George (fourth and fifth prizes).
