Footprints - by Green Feet

Arriving eventually in this peaceful paradise, Steven and Remember, two facilitators from Tholo camp, facilitated games and challenges through which environmental issues were addressed. The games encouraged "thinking out of the box" and through a lot of fun and laughter getting to know each other really well.


The Green Feet team; Yolande, Nini, Margaret, Thomas, Thabang and Lucas presented the techniques that would be applied in making wire T-shirts and taught the craft techniques to be used in covering the T-shirts with waste products, representing the flags of the 8 countries participating in the Confederation Cup 2009.

Anita presented an introductory course in the basic principals of Brain Gym, which, when implemented routinely, assists greatly in the concentration span and centeredness of children in the classroom.

There was good and plentiful food prepared by the very dedicated Mahlagu and her assistant, and we spent Saturday night making music around the campfire
It was "early up" for our morning educational bush walk; breakfast; another educational game and then the long road back to the city again.

Through this facilitator weekend, we endeavored not only to train teachers and facilitators, but also to establish a strong support base of teachers, and prove our support and commitment to the teachers. The facilitators that were trained were all employed by Green Feet to implement the project in the schools.
