The award winning Dibanisa Environmental Programme is an exciting 7-8 week educational initiative that aims to foster a love of the environment. Twenty children aged 11-13 from one school are selected each term (we rotate schools) and are given the opportunity to participate in Friday educational excursions that combine soccer games/lessons about nature/environment as well as a practical learning experience or exposure to a new place. Lessons include: Beach Cleanup, visit to Grootbos Green Futures, visit to the Great White House (shark/whale building in Kleinbaai) and many others. The end of the term overnight Dibanisa Camp is often a highlight for the kids and the volunteers.
