Fund Life-Changing Education for 201 African Kids

Dear Supporters, 

April started with two weeks of school holiday to give the teachers and children a well-deserved break after completing their exams. As part of our holiday programme, we offered the children from the local school to come and join us for the two-week break! 

Our volunteers had organised fun, educational activities for the children to engage in. In collaboration with the teachers, GVI scheduled the programme to include topics such as sports and exercise, gender equality, craft and fine motor skills, surfing and their favourite, environmental education!

For the environmental education, we partnered up with the well-known organisation, WESSA,  which is a “leading implementer of high-impact environmental and conservation initiatives in South Africa”. WESSA joined the two-week program by designing and delivering environmental education workshop to the children who were participating in the program and discussed topics such as recycling, pollution and life below water.

Together with WESSA, GVI took the children to Gordon’s Bay beach for a day excursion to explore the creatures who lived in the waters, by the rocks and in the sand. After having studied and talked about the nature and animals in the classroom, it was fascinating to see the interest of the children and the knowledge they have gained during the program.

What was amazing was to see was GVI’s mission to build a global network of people united by their passion for making a difference come to life. Not only does To be able to bring the community members from WESSA to join in this effort to make a difference for the children was amazing! 

Thank you for your continued support!

With Gratitude, 
GVI Cape Town
