Entheos Land Service newbies make their mark
Land Service is an environment-oriented youth organisation which is accessible to everyone. The organisation strives to improve the love and protection of the environment and natural resources.
A mere six months after Entheos Private Christian School introduced Land Service as an external cultural activity, six learners were chosen to represent the school at the Mpumalanga camps held during the June school holidays.
According to Monique Koekemoer, the teacher in charge of the land service club at the school, they have 26 active registered juniors (Grades R to Seven), and 10 seniors (Grades 8 and 9).

“We are so excited that six of our learners could, in such a short time since the inception of the club, attend these camps. The reason why we implemented it at the school was to give children the opportunity to get out of their comfort zone and just be themselves.”
Three juniors and three senior learners will be attending the camps at The Mighty Apies Lodge in Hammanskraal until
June 23, on alternative dates.
One of the challenges at the camps will be to protect their mascot, Jalvesha, a little rhino, at all times to prevent other teams from stealing it.
