…to bigger dreams…
The Association of Friends of
the Epileptic child was started in
1949, in order to raise funds and
create awareness
And with these funds big building projects
were taken on and completed between
1950 - 1985
At Jan Kriel School we strive to empower
learners with epilepsy and special
education needs
Special education is about 4 times
more expensive than mainstream
education. Jan Kriel School is only
partially
subsidized. Friends’

support
ensures the
”Gee ‘n Kind
‘n Kans”
future of necessary support for our
children and their unique needs.
