Tshokotshoko Primary School
A talk on the ecology of baobabs was given at Tshokotshoko Primary School which was attended by the Grade 6 and Grade 7 pupils. Each pupil was given the Tshivenda version of “Little Big Baobab Book”. Tshokotshoko Primary School is a small school, situated in a very remote part of Niyani (northern Limpopo) and is surrounded by huge baobab trees. All the pupils were knowledgeable on the local uses of the baobab fruit and many of their families benefit from the harvesting of the fruit for EcoProducts every year. The pupils were given a unique opportunity to taste one of the finished products made from baobab powder made by Unrooted in the United Kingdom. The Unrooted baobab shots are sharp and powerful and judging by their facial expressions, not what the kids expected!
Tshikuyu Primary School
Tshikuyu Primary School sits right next to Denzhe PreSchool in Tshikuyu Village. Denzhe PreSchool was built by the Baobab Foundation in 2018. Many of the pupils in the school attended the preschool and are now in the Grade 6 and Grade 7 classes. The baobab talk was well attended and the kids got to try the baobab shots made by Unrooted in the United Kingdom. Tasting the shots gave us a good opportunity to talk about the health benefits of baobab powder and how it is sold in markets around the world.
