Bishop Stafford Moses – Diocese of False Bay visited the Grade 6s at St Michael’s School in Khayelitsha to celebrate Earth Day and bless the planting of the trees. The school is situated in a very sandy and windy area and the trees will serve as a windbreak and shade for the play area.
Rev Deon McDillon challenged the children to fight the ‘Cape Flats flower” which is plastic lying everywhere. Planet v Plastic is the theme for this Earth Day.#EarthDay
Archdeacon Lundi Joko encouraged the learners to take care of the trees and Bishop Stafford blessed each tree with holy water. Rev Charles Ndlebe, Rev Kulana Makhallima, and Rev Khulile Mafenuka joined the Bishop from the Khayelitsha cluster of churches
Rev Rachel Mash and Bino Makhalanyane joined from Green Anglicans.
We are very grateful for the wonderful work of Grade 6 teacher Miss Babi in her passion for the environment!
The trees were a generous donation from the DFFE
