Rita Britz founded Bolera Palms School in 2007,although she had already been teaching many of the children since 2003. Rita felt she could make a meaningful contribution to the community and put her 21 years of experience to good use. She obtained land from the village chief to build a school and in January 2009 completed the first classroom ready for a Standard 1 intake of 30 children. The school now teaches Standard 1-4 and accommodates 120 children.
