PINETOWN Boys’ High School pupils hope to make a difference with their book that they designed to enter a competition.
The competition which is sponsored by Woolworths is called ‘making the difference through design’.
‘Making the difference through design,’ is an annual resource guide that was introduced in January 2006, when the new Further Education and Training (FET) Design course was launched.
Grade 12 pupils Kerwin Govender, Marcel Manikun and Nivern Govender said this is the third year entering this competition which is compulsory for all art students.
Kerwin said they had to come up with a concept that is based on recycling.
“Everything used to make the book is recycled.
Marcel said they want their book to be read in pre-schools.
“We believe that if you teach children while they are still small, whatever you teach them will be stuck in their mind forever. They need to learn and love recycling.
The trio said if everything goes as expected the book will also be translated in IsiZulu.
The book which is expected to have 20 pages is handmade and the boys hope that it can be included in the Department of Education syllabus.
Nivern said they have many hopes for this book. “We want to help pupils set up recycling centres as the book includes facts and effects of littering.
The boys’ dream is to help employ people to help them make their book if they can get a sponsor.
