On Tuesday afternoon we attended a meeting with at the Department of Education where we met with the Acting Superintendent General of Education for the North West Province, which overseas education in 52 different local government areas.
After a brief introduction from Lorato, Catrina presented a very impressive overview of MK and it's purpose in South Africa. This was followed by Lorato and Sampi speaking from the heart on the influence MK had on their life and thinking over the last 10 years of their involvement.
Leonie Moncrieff and Tonia Ranford were able to show how the education exchange works, sharing the curriculum materials they have been developing through their visits to South Africa based around geography, society and environment, sustainability and science.
The Superintendent expressed his approval for the work that is being done, and the strong friendship between our two groups. The foundations have been laid for the Education Department to support the activities of MKGP activities, and we closed with a group photo.
