Radio Workshop—August 14, 2010
Listen to the entire show
Welcome to the Radio Workshop Podcast!
In this week’s show we take you to the Earth Child Project at Sakumlandela Primary School in Khayelitsha. We meet some of the “earth children” at the school who are busy with yoga, gardening, worm farming, hiking and lots of other exciting activities.
And later on we’ll meet Mandisa Zitha, and hear about Encounters, the 12th South African international Documentary Film Festival. We’ll find out about what a documentary film is, and hear what they’ve got on offer.

Earth Child
The Earth Child Project works on the holistic development of children, teachers, schools, and communities. They teach young people practical skills to live more balanced and fulfilling lives, and focus on self-awareness, health and wellness, and the environment.
Nokuphiwo Jada has been working with the “earth children” at Sakumlandela Primary School in Khayelitsha for a few years now. And she’s seen some major changes in their daily lives.
