Marumofase High School Limpopo Reflection 2 – 11 – 15

Marumofase 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.
