June - July Newsletter

Dearest Family and Friends of the Earthchild Project

We hope you’re all well, warm and happy.

Firstly, we’d like to thank all those who supported us at the ‘Earthchild’ documentary screening at the Labia Cinema in June. The theatre was jam packed, Noks and the kids performed like super stars, and the response to the film was overwhelmingly positive. The film was very powerful - it made the audience laugh, cry, feel inspired and full of hope. We’d like to thank both Lesedi and Mesa Films for making such a beautiful and moving documentary. www.mesafilms.co.za

During the first week of school holidays we ran a holiday programme for 120 children at Sakumlandela in Khayelitsha. Each day began with an hour of yoga and meditation followed by all sorts of fun activities and a yummy lunch. With the support of a group of amazing volunteers we had drama, dancing, origami, art, story telling, gardening, worm farming and more! The final day ended with a concert, with performances by the drama group, sock puppeteers, music and the ‘Earthchild’ documentary. The children, volunteers and Earthchild team all left with big smiles and beautiful memories - enriched by the experience of a week of good clean, holistic fun and learning. A very big THANK YOU to all the amazing and committed volunteers – we couldn’t have done it without you!

April - May Newsletter

Dear Friends and Family of the Earthchild Project

We hope this newsletter finds you well with not too many sneezes and coughs, as we ease into Cape Town’s wet winter.

The rain has however, been very good for our gardens which are both looking lush and abundant. Two weeks ago we had a fantastic Garden Club afternoon at Sakumlandela. Joined by ten parents and three High School learners from a nearby project, there were fifty hardworking gardeners and worm farmers working side by side. It was amazing to see the children helping and teaching the high school learners and parents – they really have become experts and felt very proud to share their knowledge with their elders. After two hours of hard work, we all enjoyed a big, delicious salad made by the children with their harvest

HELLO BEAUTIFUL EARTHCHILDREN

AND WELCOME

Thank you for stopping in for a visit. We are grateful for this opportunity to share with you the work we are doing in youth education. Relax, take a look around and enjoy.

WHAT WE DO

The Earthchild Project is a dynamic and innovative non profit organisation that has the power to transform communities. We're working within the existing structure of schools, teaching kids the things we wish we'd learnt. We're creating a new generation of confident, conscious and responsible young leaders. Children, teachers and parents all benefit from the Earthchild Project and within the first year our impact is tangilble and visible.

THE EARTHCHILD FACILITATOR

Our facilitators are young, experienced and inspirational human beings. They are placed in a school where their role is to introduce and maintain our holistic and experiential education programme. Their full time position ensures that the project's impact will be meaningful and sustainable.

After only one year our schools have beautiful organic vegetable gardens, they are recycling, their tuchshops sell healthy food, and yoga, meditation and life skills lessons are part of the school routine - just to mention some of our exciting projects and the many new skills our children, teachers and parents are learning.
