SIYAKHULA PRE-SCHOOL
Once a week, volunteers visit the little ones from the ages of 3 to 7 and give a lesson on the basics of marine conservation. All teaching is done in English (translated by the teachers); therefore the kids enjoy an educative day, all while learning a second language. It has been proven that getting the information to people at an early age will enhance their chances of making a concrete difference in the bettering of our environment.
