Cape Town - our final destination ...an end to a journey but a start to a future ...of this project, of awareness, and towards a GREENER Planet!!Our start in the "Mother City" found us orientating ourselves by the famous Table Mountain...and driving to Chapel Street School early this morning. Wow - is Cape town traffic something to contend with!!
Chapel Street School were great in allowing us to speak to about 560 - 600 of their primary school students. After morning prayers, which the students did in three languages ( something that impressed us no end! ) we did our short presentation on the 1+1=1 Pledge Drive. The message was well received and we left a scroll for the students to add their signatures and pledges to! Thank you to the Principal, Mr Alexander for allowing us the time to speak to the students and bring across our message - and of course to the kids...for braving the chilly wind this morning in assembly to listen to us!
Our next stop was Sea Point Primary School - a school of 365 students. This school seems to already have the vision, as they have already established a school vegetable garden and earthworm farm. The proceeds of the garden has even once been donated to a local soup kitchen! Having said this - the students and teachers were still eager to hear about our project and what it involved!
We would like to thank Sea Point Primary School for their support!!
The rest of our afternoon was spent enjoying the view at the V & A Waterfront and ducking the crazy seagulls...not a bad way to spend a day.
And of course...its GREAT to be back together with Sa & Al, who have now joined us in CT for the finale!! Lots of fun catching up...!
More tomorrow!
