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

Dearest Family and Friends of the Earthchild Project

The first term has come to an end, the days are getting shorter, there’s a chill in the air.  Besides for setting up and laying the foundation for the rest of the year, already much has happened… outings, community initiatives, extra murals and more.

The Earthchild Project was involved in two camps at Sakumlandela this term.  The first was a three day leadership camp for the school prefects, facilitated by the Earthchild facilitator Noks and assisted by the Art of Living youth leaders Vuyo, Mandiseli and Ricardo.  The camp was a great success and besides for gaining valuable skills, the prefects planned projects for the year such as collecting older children’s uniforms to give to those who can’t afford their own.

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.
