High School Limpopo Reflection 2 – 11 – 15
On Wednesday, February 11, 2015 the
AISJ students held a lunch meeting to discuss the final phase, the formatting
and publishing of our book. Our preliminary ideas as a team were discussed. The
book design will be a flip page with a spiral spin on the top and each page
will have a designed logo of the Limpopo service project. At the beginning of
each Limpopo students story a headshot photograph and short bibliography will
introduce their born-free short story. Danielle Deiotte, whom is an IB art
student and member of the Limpopo service project, will design our logo and
cover art. Our ideas for cover art include: the South African flag made up of
words relating to the born-free generation, photos of the Limpopo students, or
an abstract broken chain. Maya Campbell, our leader, met with the AISJ School
Board to discuss publishing ideas. The School Board suggesting using a company
associated with the school, AISJ for funding. Each team member and Limpopo student
will receive a complimentary copy. The books will be sold in AISJ’s Eagle shop.
On our calendar agenda, a preliminary trip is in the making to have the AISJ
students visit Limpopo in late March.
Having a diverse team is a great
strength as we can offer something unique and different to the service project.
Also, it is a great accomplishment for the AISJ School, Marumofase High School,
the students and the staff in the upcoming publishing of this book. The making
of this book is the first time I have experienced being part of something that
will be published. The goal is to have this book printed and published with
many copies sold. We hope this will leave a legacy to the students of Limpopo
who shared their struggles and their dreams.
