Following the success of the Winter School - ADVENVIRO 2006 - SAEON received the following proposal from the learners who attended the School:

Johan Pauw, Head of SAEON, Sibongile Mokoena, SAEON’s Education
Outreach Coordinator, and Joe Sibyia, Education Outreach Facilitator at
the Ndlovu Node, are to convene a meeting to consider the proposal.
"SAEON's response to the proposal is positive and the suggestion has been that the ADVENVIRO ECO-CLUB should produce an action plan for SAEON's consideration and endorsement," says Sibongile.
"An eco-club is a great and exciting way of creating young and up-coming scientists, biologists and conservationists to fight against the destruction of nature." - The group of learners who attended SAEON’s Winter School, ADVENVIRO 2006, makes a strong case for an eco-club. (Picture © Joe Sibiya) |
