With the many increased challenges South Africa faces now, we have reached a make or break point in the care of our young people. It is now critically important that we give every possible attention to developing our children into the cleverest and most innovative citizens of the future that they can possibly be.

Covid19 has forced us to re-evaluate how to strengthen our ability to contribute effectively to a post-Covid world. What does a vibrant, post-Covid-19 society could look like, and how we can most effectively help build it? How can we best prepare our young people to think out of the box, use innovation and improvisation to find creative solutions to challenges, and dig deep into their natural resilience? These are the questions we need to be asking ourselves.

In our own community, we face on a micro level the exact same challenges our country – and indeed the planet – faces on a macro level: for example, health, education, renewable energy, sustainable food systems. We believe that the true altruistic meaning of the “triple bottom line” is more relevant now than ever before: human life, the economy and the environment are interdependent. It is clear to us that collaboration is the only sensible approach. Collaboration enables greater impact. The greater the impact the greater, and quicker, the change.

KMA 100’s Campaign is ON THE GO!

Over the next few months we want to raise 100 x R100, 100 x €100, 100 x £100 and 100 x $100 to keep bringing the magic of music to our pupils during the next few months.

To show our gratitude, we would love to name

• a veggie patch; or
• an indigenous South African tree; or
• a fruit tree

… after each donor (or you can put this in someone else’s name!).

The trees and veggies will all be planted on the KMA land and all taken care of by our pupils themselves.
