Wow - what a location for a school!! Our trip to the Kimberley Christian School had us travelling on a gravel road, then part tar and then onto more gravel...situated just outside Kimberley in the middle of nowhere!
For these kids, just 45 of them, the environment truly plays a part in their education. In fact, we were blown away by the knowledge of some of the children. One 9 year old in particular wowed us with his exceptionally broad understanding of trees and the influence that they have on the carbon emmisions front! An answer like - "Trees take in carbon dioxide, but I belive that if we cut them down, they release more carbon dioxide into the air." - what an assuring feeling to know that our future lies in the hands of children like these!
We hope that the message that we are spreading throughout our journey inspires more children to think this way!
Thanks to Lizette for allowing us to visit the school, and for her patience in giving us directions along the way!
And a thanks to the students for their participation in our "Drive", for signing the scroll, paying their rands and committing to the future!
We wish your school all the best.
