Today I went to talk to the Head teacher at Kilimajuu Primary school, which is situated at the top of the village  main road. I wasn't sure where to go since I thought the school would be a lot bigger, so I went through the village and back before finally parking my bike beside the main building. There I sat in the Headmaster office until Adam Mohamed Hamis and Hamis, a younger teacher came to welcome me. I talked to them about the beach cleanup and the reason behind it. Adam caught the essence of the idea and was very motivated. I left them some copies of my flyer to use to explain the project to the kids. I set another appointement for next Tuesday morning...at 7am! the school starts early here and usually by 1pm the children are set free. There are 4 classrooms of at least 30 children so I hope that some of them will come on the 28th. In the meantime, I will prepare some prints to present to my young public ( the damages caused to animals that ingest plastic, why it is important not to let all the trash drift to the ocean, etc...) these kids are the future of Kilimajuu.
