New Lesotho flag since 2006
This is a project I will be following during 2010.
Met with one of the teachers involved in the project recently. The project involves a range of schools in the Yorkshire area, and the Co-operative College in Manchester, and began in 2008.
The project involves students visiting and working with communities in Lesotho, and has had a transformative impact on the students involved when they return to their own communities.
Lesotho is a land-locked country, surrounded by the Republic of South Africa, and is the highest country in the world.
The City School, Sheffield has a link with a community in the Malealea Valley, working at grassroots level. It has led to a charity called Khokanyana-Phiri. There is also a connection with eco-tourism.
With thanks to Ken Dunn.
