“I strongly believe in taking care of the environment and that is why I approached the principal with this initiative. We can’t let adults do everything. Children can also do their part, starting with our own school,” she explained.
Ayden said, “We are free to choose, but we are not free from the consequences of our choices.”
The school principal, Jacques Janse van Rensburg added, “Ayden had a plan after her experience living abroad in the UK. She is passionate about the human race and looking after Mother Earth.”
