Bloemfontein greeted us with a whirlwind of action and activity. A frosty Free State morning found us heading toward St. Andrews School. We had the opportunity to speak to about 300 of their Junior Students during their Chapel period. The questions coming from some of the Grade 1's when asked about why trees were important were priceless. 

We would like to thank St. Andrews School and the Principal, Mr Chris Thomas for their participation. 

And look forward to seeing some hearty environmentalists coming forth from that school... So far 140 indigenous trees have been planted at the school - and they aim to reach 500. So all the best from W.V !

Next we got to stop in at Bloemfontein Christian Academy, which was quite exciting for me - as it was a small Christian school quite like one I had once gone to. 

The kids there thoroughly enjoyed hearing about our project. It was a quick presentation out on the field to about 130 kids, but it was good to see such a positive response. Nearly all the kids lined up after our presentation to sign the scroll and donate their R1.

Also a big thank you to Bloemfontein Christian Academy for allowing us to visit today -
