ROUND Square issued the
following press release:
Stanford Lake College hosted
a very successful African
Regional Round Square Conference
from Wednesday,
April 29, to Sunday, May 3,
2009.
The Conference theme was
"A new look at the environment!"
and the main aim
was to teach delegates that
the environment is not only
nature, but also your actions -
what you say and what you
do.
On May 1 delegates were
seen walking about with
chains around their necks.
This activity was done for
three reasons: to experience
the slavery of many years ago;
to reflect on issues in their
own lives that are holding
them back and thirdly, "to free
the children from the
shackles of privilege", which
was one of Kurt Hahn's
(Founder of Round Square)
famous sayings.
A visit to the local organic
farm, Wegraakbosch, gave
them more insight into the
management of a sustainable
farm.
Delegates were kept busy
with service projects at the
Appel School in Magoebaskloof.
Here, they equipped a
science lab, removed exotic
plants and vegetation and
built a vegetable cage to prevent
monkeys from stealing
the produce.
Many discussions were
held with the delegates and
one of the most interesting
topics was the influences of
the South African elections
on the rest of Africa.
Other keynote speakers included
Prof Hugo van Rooyen
from the University of Johannesburg,
who introduced
the seven components of the
environment; Dr Antoaneta
Letsoalo, Head of Climate
Change, LEDET, Limpopo,
helped the delegates to calculate
their personal environment
footprints, and they
came to the conclusion that
they would need seven earths
to sustain their current lifestyles.
During the closing function,
all 150 children and 40
adults from schools in Ghana,
Kenya, Namibia, Canada, India
and South Africa, pledged
in their conference statement
to be part of the process to
create a more sustainable
world. This was done to the
well-known song "Don't kill
the World" and left everyone
feeling uplifted and responsible
for their own actions.
