Preparing to visit Ntshingeni, Zigudu and Zenzile schools in the Cofimvaba district on Monday to Wednesday next week as part of the Cofimvaba Rural Schools Fuel Cell Education Initiative. Thanks to Mr Mgijima from the Cofimvaba Education Department for all the arrangements.
My NMMU Science students (intermediate Phase teachers) were exposed to exactly the same demonstrations this week as part of a section on Energy. The response was very positive as they will have to deal with the same topic and misconceptions when they enter service in the near future. The response from the rest of the staff has also been exceptionally positive with many reporting that they want to accompany me instead of the two students that I am taking with. Sadly the end is in sight as the journey has been most memorable.
Despite the emotional roller coaster ride I remain positive that there is incredible potential that needs to be nurtured further.
