An Epic for the disabled
2014-03-17
Support Manfred’s team in support of the Unit for Students with Disabilities.
Manfred Venter (left), a student assistant in the Department of Agricultural Economics at the UFS who is working on his master’s degree, is currently cycling in the Absa Cape Epic. It is one of the toughest mountain bike endurance races in the world.
One of Manfred’s goals in the race is to create awareness for the Unit for Students with Disabilities at the UFS.
Support Manfred’s team – he cycles together with Michael Jacobs, a former Kovsie and irrigation farmer from Douglas. Donations will go to the Unit for Students with Disabilities.
He assisted Janneman Genis at the unit in writing tests and exams last year, and was amazed by the work that is done by the unit.
