Chalk for Peace

On 5 November 2010, the Adonis Musati Project took seven of its oldest and brightest bridging school children to a Chalk4Peace event held on the steps of St. George's Cathedral in Cape Town and hosted by CATH. After being greeted by Archbishop Makgoba the children got down to work creating their colourful masterpieces.

Much fun was had by all as the children enjoyed drawing on the steps and singing songs while waiting for their celebratory boerewors roll and cake to be ready. Most of our children who took part have come to South Africa from war torn East Congo and so thinking and talking about Peace was very significant for them.

 As a thanks for taking part in the event, the children were given a book written by the Archbishop as well as their chalk so that they could go home and continue spreading peace through artistic expression.
