In an excellent bid to initiate disadvantaged children via Durban to a culture of travelling and thrilling adventures, the ‘Know your City’ programme was introduced.
This outstanding effort will also offer additional prominence and credit to Durban, the bright and warm city of South Africa, which brags of its incredible landscapes and heritage sites.
Of late, grade four pupils from Bhekulwandle Primary School were encouraged to visit uShaka Marine World’s Sea Education Centre where they got more idea on the tour programme and what it entails.
The pupils, who were extremely happy with excitement and joy, were attended by Maseru Madlala, CEO of the marine world, Stella Khumalo and project co-ordinator, Pearl Olivier.
The eThekwini Municipality (Community Participation Children and Vulnerable Group Department) in joint venture with different city stakeholders and role-players from attractions, stadiums and museums have partnered to develop this programme, which offers rural area primary schools with tourism-based educational information through travelling and touring.
To quote Maseru Madlala, the founder of the Azibuyemasisweni Tourism Consultancy and the extraordinary programme, “The main aim of this programme is to introduce a culture of travelling to our disadvantaged children. Our heartfelt thanks and appreciation are extended to the management and staff of the picturesque uShaka Marine World for providing one of the exciting cultural and educational visits for these children, who have never travelled from their local hometowns.”
