CLOCKWORKS IN WINTERVELDT

Thabang Kganyago is one of the Facilitators that have been working for Green Feet since 2008. Previously unemployed, Thabang was given training in Environmental Education and Art and Craft, and now works at inspiring children in Mamelodi and Winterveldt townships. Here she is seen helping the children of a Winterveldt primary school during the ClockWorks project 2009 to make clocks out of waste material.

CLOCKWORKS in Winterveldt

During "launching days", Green Feet team members not only played environmental games with the grade 5 & 6 learners. As a treat at the end of the day, each child was given a fresh, crispy Green Apple (supplied by Faerie Dale Fresh Produce) which rewarded us with plenty broad smiles.
In the foreground with the kids is Emily Mpye, a Green Feet facilitator and Winterveldt resident.

The Result!

As an extra curricular activity, fifty children from each school were taught the craft techniques they would need to make a T-shirt out of wire, cover it with old newspaper and decorate it with waste material. Each school made eight T-shirts representing the flags of the countries participating in the Confederation Cup.

Visit to the JNF Walter Sisulu

The aim of the center is to develop an awareness of the conservation and preservation of the wealth of our natural heritage in the community, especially the youth.
Green Feet Facilitators took Soccer children and their friends for a day trip to the center where they played games that focus on three R's: Reduce, Reuse, Recycle and waste management in Mamelodi.
