Visit to Mitchells Plain Primary School No. 1... 31 October 2013

On Thursday 31 October 2013, READ to RISE went to Mitchells Plain Primary School No. 1 in Westridge to distribute over 300 copies of OAKY AND THE SUN to the Grade 2 and 3 learners.

Our wonderful volunteer readers did a great job.

The readers included (left to right): Mike Kendrick, Kevin Wildschut, Junita Williams, Nicholas Williams, Mark Christian, Celeste Christian, Aaron Tejada and Roscoe Williams.

This visit was extra special because our Chairman, Athol Williams, had attended this primary school, as well as Nicholas, Roscoe, Junita and Aaron.




















 
 

The children got so excited when they recognized me at the back of the book listed as the illustrator. During the break time, I even had a whole group of girl learners run up to me and hug me - so rewarding :) Only wish that Athol was there in person, the children would have been over the moon to see the author too!
