Road Safety with
- Zoleka Mandela & Johnson and Johnson
On October 1st, we had a VERY special visitor in school. Zoleka Mandela, granddaughter of Nelson Mandela, came to visit us. Zoleka is an ambassador for the SaveKidsLives campaign; a campaign that hopes to 'make roads safe for children everywhere.'
Zoleka recently spoke at an event hosted by Johnson & Johnson where she highlighted some of the life-saving Decade of Action for Road Safety projects around the world which have been established with support from the company.
'Throughout the world, almost 1 million children die of injuries each year'
and so we are honoured that Zoleka chose to visit Booker Hill to deliver an assembly to teach our pupils about road safety.
- In the assembly, Zoleka told the teachers and children about the Save Kids Lives campaign.
- She talked to pupils about joining the campaign in a local road safety project to be carried out with Johnson & Johnson.
- Zoleka invited our pupils to design road safety posters and our school councillors are now busy collecting the designs.
Zoleka also toured the school, meeting with staff and pupils and sharing and exchanging ideas. Everyone was very excited to meet Zoleka and to hear all about the amazing work both she and Johnson and Johnson are doing to make our world a better and safer place.
