Our Earth Day Celebration at Mokolodi

Yesterday, the Embassy partnered with Mokolodi Nature Reserve to celebrate Earth Day. Batswana children traveled from all over Botswana’s BOCAIP centers to Mokolodi in order to attend a five-day workshop on environmental education. At the opening of the workshop, the children performed songs, poems, and plays to illustrate the importance of caring for Mother Earth. The key theme was to practice the three “R’s” – Reduce, Reuse, and Recycle! As Mokolodi Education Director John Aves said, “Children are the country’s future and that is why it is important for them to learn how to use the environment sustainably.” Indeed. Good job, kids!
