Today Steve Vosloo visited two schools in Cape Town that have been participating in the Digital Hero Book Project (DHBP): Eikendal Primary in Kraaifontein and Floreat Primary in Steenberg.
At Eikendal Primary there was an opportunity to meet Druscilla van Niekerk, the educator who has been hero booking with her students, Percival Meissenheimer, the principal of the school, John Jacobs, the IT/LAN administrator and also some of the young heroes.
A few of Druscilla’s students have already created digital hero books while others will be attending the second digital hero book workshop on 23-24 July. When asked what he thought of the project, one student replied: “It’s something new and exciting.” Druscilla felt that her students were now “more clear about goals and objectives in their lives,” even though sharing personal stories was difficult for some students.

At Floreat Primary, Steve met with the school principal, Noel Isaacs, and educator Joy Prinsloo, who has been hero booking with her students. It was wonderful to put faces to names after working together - but virtually - for so many months.

A big thank you goes out to the educators, facilitators, principals and students for making the project such a success at these schools.
