Formosa and Kwano kids now also part of Adopt-a-beach crew
ORCA Foundation has just teamed up with Natures Valley Trust (NVT) to extend its successful Adopt-a-Beach schools education programme, which means that two Plett schools will benefit during 2017.
Explains NVT director Dr Mark Brown: “We have run the programme since 2004 in The Crags and Coldstream primary schools.
“The course involves a series of seven outdoor lessons on the beach for Grade 7 learners, exposing them to beach, estuary, and marine ecosystems. We also explore the impact people have on these environments, and what we can do as individuals and communities to address the effects.”
Dr Brown added that it’s a hands-on, fun and educational programme specifically designed to link in to the school curriculum.
So it was with great gratitude that the Trust accepted the Foundation’s cash injection of R22,400 as generously facilitated by Tony Lubner, which now covers the costs of including Formosa and KwaNokuthula primary schools in this year’s programme.
