If is picture is worth a thousand words ...then surely this picture will tell you everything you need to know!! A beautiful Friday morning found us driving from our cosy little Robertson backpackers past picturesque vineyards through to McGregor to pay a visit to McGregor Waldorf School.

This school was such fun for us to give a presentation to - the students being super enthusiastic! It was such a pleasure for us to see students exhibit real interest - one student even coming up to us after the presentation to ask HOW trees gave us oxygen. A valid question - and definitely one that means we got those minds ticking!!

We would like to say thank you to Ken and the students and teachers of Waldorf School in McGregor for signing the scroll and committing to "Live their Most Significant Lives."

It was then back on the road to Robertson...and onwards. Towards the Southern Most Tip of Africa!!


We made a stop in Bredasdorp, where the Cape Agulhas Municipality is located. There we had the pleasure of a lunch-time meeting with the Executive Mayor, Councillor Robert Mitchell as well as the Deputy Mayor and 2 other Councillors.

They were very eager to hear about our project and also keen to share with us their own visions for the Cape Agulhas Municipality - so much so that they took us out to one of their current projects...which involves paving the side streets for the kids to walk on, the planting of trees along the streets, as well as the urban greening through creating a safe park for kids to play in as well as an area for relaxation in the location. Their vision and passion for their project and their town was clearly brought forth as they drove us through the streets and pointed out how each step would be a clear improvement.

We would like to thank the Cape Agulhas Municipality for their support in our Project, as well as their time. We would like to commend them on their efforts so far, and wish them well in their "greening expeditions".

and then nose to the wind and south...south...south...!!
