The lecture series you presented on " Agents for Change" has helped our students realize the ripple effect that they can have on the planet. Already, they are talking about their ripple effects.

The girls gained a great deal from your presentations. They were lively and interactive and through your lovely colourful and appealing books and funny characters you have raised the children’s awareness of sustainability and environmental issues and turned them into fun and exciting topics for them to explore.

There was a lot to engage the students about environmental issues affecting our planet.It was great for the pupils to hear a speaker from the other side of the world using examples from around the world for the pupils to realise the global compact we are having on our environment. It gave the pupils a broader perspective. Pupils were challenged to think about how environmentally friendly they are and how they could be more.
