My pupils and I are honoured to have
been asked to join UNESCO's Sandwatch environmental Project
I must admit that, as an English teacher I thought I did not have
the right skills to participate in this project but UNESCO has encouraged
me and now I have started it, and I can say we are all very pleased and
very proud to be part of it.
It is a beginning I know and we have to feel very modest but when I saw
the enthusiasm and the involvement of my students during their first observation, I
realized how much it was going to be great!
It means a lot of things for us, here in Mayotte.
I hope it will allow a lot
of schoolgirls and schoolboys to become aware of their environment, of the
importance of their beaches, of the sea and the marine ecosystem.
- It will enable us to think of and to work on exciting and real projects.
- We won't feel isolated any more
- We would like to get other teachers of other schools as well as local
environmental professionals involved in this program.
