Leaves for Trees...

This picture was taken during the Big Green Day in June of last year when we brought 11 schools together to do environmental learning & share ideas. It was a blast!

Big Bug Hugs

We have some lovely friends that we work with among them are the infamous Bugs of the Meander education Project. Check out www.mmaep.co.za for their stuff.
They not only do cool and funky educational things they also kiss frogs, plant trees, eat cake and drink champagne given a chance.They cartwheel and hug their way around schools and make environmental education COOL:-)

Fresh New Year & All that Jazz!!

Well here we are- got the idea, got the building and now- Whoooooppppeeee We got the Power (oh dear, too much nineties music influence going on here, my apologies, not cool)
We have a Hip Hop teacher waiting in the wings as well as a strange assortment of teachers, biologists, puppeteers, artists and creative folk all getting ready to burst forth from Yizwa this year.
The Big Green Carnival has been pushed forward to the 25 September with local Carnival/Circus Skills workshops throughout the year around the Midlands of KZN.
