We were definitely quite excited about our next port-of-call... which was Tsoseletso High School- A huge school of about 1700 students. We got to chat to about 300 of the Grade 8 students out on the field.

They were all very interested in what we had to say - which was an awesome feeling. Afterwards we were positively swamped by them trying to gather round and sign the scroll. 

Messages such as "Trees are life- life is trees" and "I love trees" graced our Scroll as one after another of the students signed. Clearly these kids know the importance of trees in their lives! It was really such a cool school to visit - and we would love to stop by again some time to see how our "thank-you" plum tree is faring!

We would like to extend a big thank you to Andrew, from Tsoseletso School. We would also like to thank Modise Finger from Vuka Tours for taking us by this school on our Township tour, and for his friendly participation.  

The Township tour around Bloemfontein made a lot of our history come alive as Modise managed to explain it all in a very down-to-earth manor. We also stopped by Franklin Game Reserve, one of the only Game Reserves in the Southern Hemisphere to be completely within the city's limits. A view of ostriches, and the beautiful sky-line of Bloem completed our tour.

More tomorrow....
