| Hi everyone :) It’s been a while! In the meantime, we were invited to create another amazing project in a kindergarten class in the Primary School of Vogtsrain in Zurich. Together with Mareike Hug, their teacher, we organised a parcours for the 21 children to let them explore the wonders of water. |
The first challenge was to clean dirty water by building their own water filter with a PET-bottle, coffee filter, sand and stones. In a second step they learned about the Sanakvo technology from Jan Marc Lehky (who is in the foundation’s council - find it here). They solved a puzzle and put the newest model of the module together. It was a lot of fun to hear about the lonely glycerine people who love water so much! The next mission lead along journey of water through pipes and tunnels: The kids themselves went through an adventurous journey through toy tunnels and tricky slaloms. Last but not least, each kid was able to draw their own bookmark, which they could keep as a remembrance of the lovely time we had together. After the break, we moved outside. We were quite lucky with the weather and in the sunshine, we had set up a water-transport-race. The challenge was to transport water from one bucket to theirs with a sponge, until their bucket was full. The second half of the class was playing a water cycle jumping game, which they decorated themselves.
After this fun discovery tour we were both excited and exhausted - as were the kids. They listened interestedly and participated with incredible energy, which made the certificate for completing the mission at the end of the morning well-deserved and all the more rewarding!
It was an insightful and amazing morning which we enjoyed very much :) Thanks to Mareike Hug, who invited us, to Jan Marc Lehky and Aileen Salas from the Sanakvo Foundation who were there to support us, and of course to the cool kids!
See you soon ;)
