Cape to Cape

We had an amazing visitor yesterday. Gijs Stevers is cycling (!!!) from the North Cape, ie the Arctic Circle, to the Cape of Good Hope, ie Capetown. On the way he is finding out about the use of sustainable energy in the many countries he passes through. He is also giving workshops in schools and colleges using towers of Lego bricks to represent the different energy sources and guiding students to think about planning for the best use of energy resources in the future. He spoke to the whole school at morning assembly and described his six month journey as far as Dodoma. Some Form III students took part in the workshop and had fun with the Lego while getting to grips with the challenge of responsible use of resources. Then we wished him Safari Njema and he pedalled off towards Iringa to check out the Hydroelectric power station at Mtera. We are wondering what he will say about us on his blog.
