THIRD MARKET DAY ROCKS KRAAIFONTEIN COMMUNITY
The Kraaifontein community was up and about early Saturday morning as young and old made their way to the third Rachel’s Angels Market day. The day started off with a 5km funwalk which was opened by members of the local Santos Football Club. The funwalk, themed Superheroes for our planet, was in support of the Earth Hour initiative and challenged all participants to come dressed as a superhero. Some of the interesting outfits included a suit made of newspaper and dresses from recycled plastic. The crowd of more than 5000 people were kept on their feet by performers such as Byron Clarke, Axene, La Vuvuzela and Blackkurrant.
MARKET DAY PREPARATION WORKSHOP
With less than a month left before the Market Day, learners and mentors gathered at Bernadino Heights High School in Kraaifontein in preparation of the big day.
Dr Michael le Cordeur, deputy chairperson of the Rachel’s Angels Trust welcomed everyone and introduced Ivor Price of Media24 who would be the media liaison for the Market Day.
During his speech Ivor touched on the subject of what to avoid when dealing with the media, what a good press release consists of and how to get your message across. At the end of his speech he gave all participating schools 15 minutes to write a press release about the upcoming Market Day and all the activities that would be taking place.

More than a hundred Grade 11 learners from various high schools in the Western Cape piled into the Sanlam Hall at Stellenbosch University to participate in what quickly became a fun filled day that would showcase their dancing and acting skills.
During their first activity, a movie making session, the learners got the opportunity to give their imaginations free reign. Each group received a movie title which they had to act out and film, complete with a news flash and commercial break.
After all the excitement of making their own movie, the learners were urged to capture the gees of the 2010 Soccer World Cup by learning the well known diski dance and showcasing it to their audience.
The day’s activities were aimed at building camaraderie amongst the learners of the various schools, whilst developing the learners individually and as a team.
RACHEL'S ANGELS WELCOMES THE CLASS OF 2010/11 On Saturday 24 April, more than 100 learners from schools scattered around the Western Cape arrived at the Stellenbosch University to be introduced to an educational journey that is sure to shape their future.

Learners were introduced to the trustees, including Prof. Rachel Jafta, chairperson and founder of Rachel’s Angels, who shared their heart and vision for the programme coupled with good dose of encouragement.
